Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed admitted after losing the final Test against New Zealand on Friday that there is a real possibility that he could be forced to relinquish captaincy in the longest format.
“When things like this happen, you do start to think about it. But let’s see what happens. The tour of South Africa is a tough one and if you start thinking like this before it then it is not helpful for anyone,” he said.
The loss against New Zealand on the final day meant the Sarfraz-led side lost their fourth Test in seven home games which is in contrast to the results they got in the seven years prior to Sarfraz getting the captaincy.
“If I make mistakes, or it is because of me that the team is losing then I will definitely think about it, and if there is someone better than me to do the Test captaincy, then he should,” said Ahmed.
Pakistan’s tour of South Africa commences later this month on Boxing Day and all eyes will be on how well Pakistan do in the three-match series.
