Apart from Munaf, other cricketers also extended their birthday greetings to Jaffer.

"Happy birthday to my first Test match wicket @WasimJaffer14," Vaughan tweeted.
"Many happy returns of the day @WasimJaffer14. Best wishes to you and have a good one!" Tendulkar wrote on Twitter.
"Many more happy returns of the day @WasimJaffer14, waiting to see your counterpart from England wish you in his own style," India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin tweeted.
"Happy birthday Maamu @WasimJaffer14 Have a great year year ahead. Keep them coming," former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan tweeted.
