ISLAMABAD -Former Pakistani speedstar Shoaib Akhtar lashes out at skipperSarfraz Ahmed over his performance as captain.
Former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar has labeled Sarfaraz Ahmed as a‘confused’ captain as he is still unable to find a permanent battingposition for himself.
While analyzing the Pakistan team performance, Akhtar said that Sarfarazneeds to focus on his batting more than captaincy.
Sarfaraz as a captain is confused. I have been telling him for the past twoyears to bat higher up the order as Pakistan needs him more as a batsmanthan as a captain. If Sarfaraz score runs, it would be beneficial for himin the long run as he is facing pressure from other wicketkeepers likeMohammad Rizwan.
Sarfaraz has changed his batting position twice in the series against SriLanka; he batted at no. 5 in 2nd ODI whereas opted to come a bit earlier inthe 3rd ODI and 1st T20I.
