New Zealand won the Test series 2-1 against Pakistan, becoming only the second side to win the series in UAE.
Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed has hinted at the possibility of giving up Test captaincy after his team lost the three-match Test series to New Zealand on Saturday (December 8).
It was Pakistan’s fourth loss in seven home Tests and with a daunting series in South Africa to come later this December, Sarfraz admitted that there is a real possibility that he could be forced to leave the Test captaincy, saying “if there is someone better than me to do the Test captaincy, then he should.”
Sarfraz told reporters after the series defeat to New Zealand, “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.”
Meanwhile, Mohsin Khan, Head of Pakistan's cricket Committee, has publicly commentated that Sarfraz should give up the Test captaincy, while Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) also made it clear to the skipper that there is no guarantee as a leader and is kept in the role on a series-by-series basis.
Sarfraz signed off by saying, “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.”
