Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) sacked of Sarfaraz Ahmed from captaincy ahead of the Australia series with Azhar Ali and Babar Azam being appointed new skippers of Pakistan’s Test and T20I sides respectively.

While some were happy with this decision, some expressed their concerns over the same. Former Pakistan skipper Moin Khan said he was shocked to hear Sarfaraz Ahmed being removed as T20 skipper.

“Misbah and Waqar (Younis) never liked Sarfaraz. I am shocked that the PCB has removed Sarfaraz from captaincy in T20I cricket. He has led Pakistan to 11 consecutive T20I series’ win and you can’t remove him due to few poor performances,” Moin Khan was quoted as saying by ARY News.

Moin added saying that coach and chief selector Misbah-Ul-Haq was being handed too much power.

“I think making a single person too powerful won’t work for Pakistan’s cricket,” he warned.

However, former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar backed the axing.

“I saw it coming for Sarfaraz. Nobody else is to be blamed but him. Been telling him for two years to pull up his socks,” Akhtar tweeted on Friday.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Akhtar said: “The situation which has occurred is due to his own fault. It was not someone else’s fault.”

“I also want to tell you that they will not even keep him in the team. I can guarantee that right now. They will not give him a chance in the team,” he added.
