The legendary leg-spinner said when he asked Munaf his age, the pacer inquired if he wanted to his real age or IPL age.

Munaf later confessed that his real age was 35, while IPL age was 29.

 

The World Cup winning bowler played under Warne at Rajasthan Royals.

I knew it, even wasim once said in commentry he runs in like 35 yr old man 

Wasim's actual age is also much more than his official age.   Gavaskar said so in the commentary box sitting with Akram and he did not deny. 

 

It must be the same with Waqar.

At-least he was honest in revealing his 2 ages. Shane Warne took money from bookies and bad mouthed Salim Malik. Also, dont forget his doping ban. He took a masking agent and said my mum gave it to me so that I can lose weight and look handsome. If you believe that to be truthful, then you must be a staunch believer of Santa Claus too. All that being said, yes we do have a systemic practice of players underaging themselves in Indian cricket. And it is not new or limited to just 1-2 players. Does anyone think Kapil Dev looked a tad older than 24 when India won the wc in 1983?

Rather a player lie about his age than fiddle charity money:

Too be fair I called shami out a long time ago about his age...

Praveen Kumar as well posters have rightly mentioned.

People mentioned him in this thread. No way is 25..might be in his early 30s

I do hope IPL sides run bone tests on all players. This is a type of fraud.
