Pakistan’s former ODI captain, Shahid Afridi, on Monday said that Pakistan needs a ‘fighting captain’ like Sarfraz Ahmed.
He was talking to media at Karachi University’s Mass Communication department.
“If the board wants him [Sarfaraz] to lead the team in all three formats, it will be beneficial for Pakistan cricket,” he added.
“Sarfraz has the ability to lead the team and I will support him,” he said.
Afridi also said that Giles Clarke’s visit to the country is a good step for Pakistan cricket and the credit for orchestrating the visit goes to PCB and Shehryar Khan.
“The visit will give a positive message about security in Pakistan, [that the] law and order situation [is] now better in Pakistan,” he said.
The former captain also said that the PSL can only benefit Pakistan’s cricket scene if it is hosted within the country.
“The plan for the PSL final in Lahore is a positive step, but other matches of the tournament should also be held in in Karachi, Multan Faisalabad, Peshawar and other large cities in the country,” he said.
