Time to drop Sarfaraz Ahmed from the Test team and pick Kamran or Rizwan

[Pete Rose]

Can see a scenario of Pakistan playing Rizwan in the third or fourth test as sarfi might be 'injured'

 

[Hasan123]

Don't mind rizwan but hopefully Kamran is kept away from odi and test team

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Sarfaraz has to rise to the occasion. There is no hiding in England - as Kamran Akmal (or Pakistan) found to their detriment.

 

[Ahson8]

Lol what a troll thread. Sarf is a very good Test batsman, in Asian conditions atleast.

I can see such a scenario in the ODI and T20I series, not in Tests yet.

Some ill informed posts in RE: Sarfraz

Sarfraz was in the ICC test team of the season last year. He doesn't have all the shots but he bats with great intent at a superb strike rate.

So what if he had one bad series against England, he's been prolific otherwise. Gosh some of these posters think it's end of career after one bad series.

I'd take sarfraz over any number 7 wicket keeper batsman in the batting order because he is the best wicket keeper batsman out there. In fact there hasn't been a better wicket keeper batsman in Pakistan's history.

Well if Kami is ever picked over Sarfaraz in tests, i would sell my house and move to Malakund division.

The lad averages 46 in tests and 29 in t20s, yet people are screaming for his head. Even in ODIs he averages more than kami. I know the conditions are different, but give him a chance to fail before you suggest a consistent failure or complete unknown to take his place.

Bar Sarfraz and Imtiaz for his time, pretty poor records.

Excellent Average by Srafaraz Ahmed

 

[Suleiman]

Called it centuries ago, nobody listened. Funnily enough whoever opposed me back then are against Sarfraz now.

The real talent and fraudia spotter.

 

[as-95]

I wouldn't mind him in the team if he wasn't captain. Being captain makes him hard to drop. If he was another squad player, we could drop him for Rizwan/another WK with ease but it's difficult when Sarfraz is captain. Sarfraz needs to be stripped of captaincy so he is fighting with Rizwan for the starting spot!

Worst Batting Average as Captain since Sarfraz Ahmed was announced as Test Captain.

28.50 Sarfraz Ahmed

45.57 Joe Root
49.39 Dinesh Chandimal
55.27 Kane Williamson
63.20 Steve Smith
70.65 Virat Kohli

Lol at Kamran. Why not bring back Rashid Latif or Moin Khan?

Lol @ getting beaten by Jason Holder. WI fans (if any exists lol) can easily say he’s a bowler and should focus on that first like Sarf fans say he is a keeper first and batsman second. It’s 2018, keepers are supposed to be at the minimum averaging 35-ish with the bat.

In recent times he has been horrible even tho his overall average is boosted by his 2015 purple patch.
