Brother, you can't keep assuming pcb functions the way you think it does where merit is how you boot someone out.Okay sure, he was. But the idea that Sarfraz was a great captain is not exactly true either. If he was so great, he wouldn't have been sacked. Sarfraz the test captain on the other hand, was one of the worst red-ball captains in recent memory. A guy who destroyed a 7 year record of Pakistan not losing a test series in UAE in his first series as captain. There was also the humiliation New Zealand feted out to us in 2018 and a truly epic choke by Pak in a match that was their for the taking. Not to mention, the failure to win a test series against one of the worst Australian sides to ever tour Asia.
If this was the case babar would have been sacked ages ago and never have been called back for captaincy, Misbah would have been sacked for 2013 ct alone in white ball.
Sarfi wasn't a good red ball captain and should have been replaced.
His whiteball record is fine and it's not always about records, in whiteball it's mostly gonna be about your performance in cups.
2017 is a win. 2019 while not a win involves victories against Sa, England, NZ, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.
Only wi was bad, Otherwise Australia and India losses are commonplace regardless of era as we've been losing to these 2 sides in cups ever since wc started.
Under Misbah ct 2013 was a joke, 2015 world cup was an even bigger joke and it was humiliating for Misbah that the guy he sidelined, he and wahab were the sole reasons Pakistan made it into QF despite him constantly saying his nonsense of Jamshed and Akmal the guys who's been mainstream for years hadn't been given enough chances, LOL as if chances mantra applies In a tournament setting.
Similarly 2023 is the same. We didn't beat anyone besides Nedtherlands, Bangladesh and Sri lanka. That too Sri lanka was an out of your skin batting. Every other Tom dick and Harry butchered us except for SA. England who were playing with the deadweight of bairstow, Stokes, Root, Malan, Moeen Ali and Butler, All players who were out of it and got butchered by every team in the cup including minnows Wrecked Pakistan into next week.
NZ was a drs win with their mainstring injured and them having to rely on sodhi again, And another huge humiliation that fakhar the guy they sidelined and you who advocated for his captaincy is the one who managed to get them over the drs par line.
Sarfraz as a whiteball captain is fine who's done more good then bad.
Again don't assume pcb is a merit based board otherwise azam khan wouldn't be here and babar would become captain again.
