Azhar Ali Top Contender for Test Captaincy
Following
the ICC Cricket World Cup, captain Sarfaraz Ahmed has been the subject of
uncertainty Some of the former cricketers and experts have encouraged Sarfaraz
to remain, captain, while others want to see new faces in the head Pakistani
team.
Misbah-ul-Haq,
Chief head of the training camp, said at a press conference that the captain's
double division could be a good option to move forward. It seems that Sarfaraz
is still able to lead the country in the shortest format, but he will likely be
removed from his duties as captain of the other two formats.
According
to journalist and senior presenter Mirza Iqbal Baig, Azhar Ali would be a
strong candidate to replace Sarfaraz as captain of the evaluation team.
Sarfraz
Ahmed's chances of the remaining captain of the Pakistan Test are not very
bright. Azhar Ali is a serious candidate to replace him in the Test vs SL, Aus
and Bangladesh series.
It
should be noted that Azhar Ali was once captain of Pakistan in a one-off test
and 31 ODI. Under his captainship, Pakistan had a 40% win/loss percentage in
ODI, while the team had lost the only test.
