From a 4-match ban to praise from the ICC - The topsy turvy world of Sarfaraz Ahmed

Amazing how his reputation is being re-deemed! ICC admonishing him one day, praising him now!

Let us give credit where credit is due.

Well Done.
He's the captain we need.

 

[Titan24]

Well done Sarfaraz!

 

[Hawkeye]

Well done!

However, using inappropriate words is a separate issue and he needs to realize it was not a small deal. Even if it's commonly used in Pak, it's wrong and shows very bad manners, jahiliat .

Let's not mix the two things, but credit for this incident.

Cricketers routinely get approached and report it without any fuss. ICC comments are a bit OTT and insulting even. It's as if they are surprised.

Umar Akmal was mocked in this forum for this. Sarfaraz is getting applause.
