ISLAMABAD – Suggestion for new Captain of Pakistan cricket team forreplacing Babar and Azhar.
Former captain, Rashid Latif, has said that the Pakistan Cricket Board(PCB) should have made Mohammad Hafeez the captain of the team acrossformats after Sarfaraz Ahmed’s sacking.
He made these remarks after Pakistan’s defeat at the hands of England inthe second T20I, adding that both Babar Azam and Azhar Ali are not captainmaterial.
Hafeez should have been appointed captain after Sarfaraz was sacked ascaptain. Two different captains came in for different formats. Even thoughAzhar and Babar are world-class players, they have not proven themselves ascaptain. It is tough for Babar and even for Azhar.
Rashid Latif, like a lot of former cricketers, has a knack of suggestingcaptaincy changes even though Babar hasn’t led the sides in many games.——————————
