Our cricket board (or whatever is the name of management) has been sleeping. Pakistan lost the cricket world cup due to bad management and I think PM IK is also responsible for that.Sarfraz hasn't performed in single match since last 2 years or so. He should have been sacked before the World Cup
That's two formats ? Aren't they ?JUST IN: Sarfaraz Ahmed has been removed as Pakistan's Test and T20I captain. Azhar Ali and Babar Azam will replace him.

paindu giri.
Its not about cricket its about grouping and making captain from same province for all format.
Otherwise why umar akmal came back? Ahmed shahzad back?

Good.mm.he needed to go for a run anyway. Now he will be dropped. Every man should have to fight for his place. I also think Misbah is crap he should be fired
Now misbah is back with his running politics. All will be left akmal brothers back. Kamran akmal will be captain. One can clearly see who make groups all the time.
Anyone who is not performing, should be let go of the responsibility.
Odi captain?
Sarfraz cannot survive the Australian test series his batting technique is not good at all. Wonder if they still keep him as a player or who would replace him as wicket keeper batsman? Rizwan ki eid hogaye
Misbah politicising the crap out of PCB.

Yup, no one should be given full authority until proven but again I'm not expert on cricket and don't know the capability of each player however I know this Sarfraz was not performing right? And he was the capt during the WC as well and we all saw Pakistani team performance was dismal. There was no discipline, players were dining out late night before crucial matches and partying....and what I remember that Misbah was not in picture.. so Misbah is not responsible for the bad performance of Sarfraz. But I can't say surely if Misbah would be good or bad but he is known to be some of the better captains.Making misbah both coach and selector was the worst decision
The guy had no experience of coaching any team and he is given so much power where he would be both selector and the coach
Bad days for Pak cricket ahead. And this shouldn't happen under IK as PM
I feel for sarfraz. It was not his fault the team lost to srilanka. But this was a long time coming. Sarfraz does not perform with the bat anymore. He would have done the same in Australia test matches too. He is dead weight now. Might aswell try rizwan. Sarfraz was in the team because we had no better keeper. Who knows sarfraz may still play in the team as a keeper.Guys, we are indeed a thank less lot who are brutal towards "Match winners" and honest perfomers "playing for Pakistan" without looking at the politics being played against them by those who do politics in team and "play with Pakistan"...
No doubt that Sarfaraz was needed to be removed from T20 for now due to lack of performance ( even despite politics against him).
He has been a match winner and top performing wicket keeper as well as captain to win most consecutive series than any other captain in history.
Removal from T20 should have been a wakeup call for Sarfaraz to up the performance or be removed from ODI too.
Then he should have been removed from test captaincy if he still failed to perform in tests also.
This is what I posted yesterday...
Well done PCB, keep honouring your heros as if they are dirt, and keep promoting and rewarding dirty politics.
Misbah and Waqar Younus wanted to replace Sarfaraz when Misbah was captain and whenever Waqar used to be coach/bowling coach...
Sarfaraz stayed ahead of the duo's game by performing out of his skin...but now his performance has suffered.
The 2014-15 season turned out to be a fairytale one for Sarfaraz. He notched up an away ton against Lanka, and tons against Australia and New Zealand in consecutive Test series. Even away tours to England and Australia were a good for Sarfaraz as he kept well and batted doggedly.
Initially Sarfaraz was completely ignored by Waqar as a first choice keeper in favour of Umar Akmal for the first part of the 2015 World Cup, Sarfraz was at last reluctantly promoted by Waqar due to pressure from PCB to open in a must win game against South Africa and he delivered with a gutsy run-a-ball 49. His exploits won him the Man of the Match award and he repeated the feat with his maiden century against Ireland in the very next game.
These were the performances that exposed those who were against Sarfaraz.
Now that the Duo of Misbah and Waqar are sitting on top of Sarfaraz, they have and they will keep subjugating him to their decisions which would mean more losses if not enough already...to get Sarfaraz sacked from each and every format.
The new keeper will be the below par, under performer favorite of Misbah/Waqar in Mohammad Rizwan...who has zero match winning performances in PSL, let alone for Pakistan at international level...ZERO...But he is still favorite of Misbah and Waqar.
Until Sarfaraz gets kicked off from the team by Misbah and Waqar, Pakistan would keep losing matches due to obnoxious selection and management decisions...
Unfortunately for Sarfaraz, he himself is none the wiser and a subjugate to management decisions and hardly asserts himself...
Dead weight in T20 indeed but not in tests or ODI...I feel for sarfraz. It was not his fault the team lost to srilanka. But this was a long time coming. Sarfraz does not perform with the bat anymore. He would have done the same in Australia test matches too. He is dead weight now. Might aswell try rizwan. Sarfraz was in the team because we had no better keeper. Who knows sarfraz may still play in the team as a keeper.
Yeah they only removed him from captaincy I hope they keep him as a keeper still. They can keep rizwan and sarfraz both in the squad for Australia and worldcup.If one doesnot perform get the other one in. Bairstow and buttler are prime examples. Both of the field well. Sarfraz wouldn't be able to field. Rizwan is ok though.Dead weight in T20 indeed but not in tests or ODI...
Rizwan is a mediocre performer...might as well keep serfaraz until better keeper and batsman than Rizwan is discovered.
