PCB Announces T20I And Test Teams For The Australia Tour
After dismissing Sarfaraz Ahmed as captain from all formats, Misbah-ul-Haq announced the team that will be touring for the T20I and Test Match series in Australia.
As per your expectations, Sarfaraz Ahmed was expelled from both formats and replaced by Mohammad Rizwan.
The PCB also made unlikely shootings in the form of Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Irfan, and Usman Qadir.
“Our goal is to improve the Test Ranking and get the Test Championship strong. There is a need to play another cricket brand. The balance of the squads shows that we have the opportunity to play aggressive, offensive cricket,”said Misbah at the announcement of the squad.
When Misbah talked about the removal of Sarfaraz, he said that the only cause for removing the former skipper from the T20I and test teams was his bad form.
“We’ve always bet on Sarfaraz, he’s a good player, he has performed well a lot in crucial conditions for Pakistan, but this decision to dismiss him was recently hit because of his form.”
On Sarfaraz‘s future, he said, “I think it’s all about regaining its shape once its shape is restored, I think the doors are open, there’s no plot or anything like that, it’s true.” I think it is a clear message for Sarfaraz and others.”
