Sarfaraz Ahmed is supposed to lead Sindh in National T20 CupPakistani captain Sarfaraz Ahmed has been recently on the edge given the poor performance of the team in recently concluded T20I series against Sri Lanka and his own form with the bat and inability to motivate the players.

Sarfaraz is often hailed as one of the best captains of the Men in Green given that he won them their third ICC trophy in 2017 when they defeated India in the finals of Champions Trophy 2017 in England. Recently, there were also voices asking him to step down as captain of the team in limited-overs cricket and let a fresh player take over the reins.

Even the Pakistani media is not willing to give Sarfaraz another chance and it came to a heated discussion during a press conference before the start of the National T20 Cup in which Sarfaraz was supposed to lead the Sindh team.

During the press conference, one of the journalists asked Sarfaraz in Urdu that why should people come to see you play in grounds when you have disappointed them so much. “You've disappointed the cricket fans so much that they've started cursing you. Who will come to see you play in the #NationalT20Cup?" - a journalist to Pak's Captain Sarfraz Ahmed

After this fiasco, Sarfaraz has reportedly refused to captain the Sindh team in the T20 tournament after being upset at the type of questions being asked to him during the conferences. This was confirmed by Saj Sadiq of PakPassion.net in a tweet.
