Pakistan Test captain Azhar Ali backed Sarfaraz Ahmed after he took to Twitter to post a cryptic tweet in Urdu following his performance in the last T20 match against England.
Pakistan is full of passionate cricket followers and one bad performance on the field can bring in severe criticism and condemnation for that particular player, same is the case with Sarfraz Ahmed a former Pakistan captain of all formats, who was at the receiving end against his mistakes which he made in the third and final T20 match against England.
Sarfaraz Ahmed was under pressure as he got tough competition with Muhammad Rizwan, who proved himself a better wicketkeeper in test format. Muhammad Rizwan through his behind the wicket skills gathered plenty of admiration and praise from commentators, former cricketers, and even from analysts. This is why the former captain seemed under immense pressure once he was selected in the final 11 of the third T20 match against England.
After facing heavy criticism, Sarfaraz finally spoke out on this issue on Twitter and stated that he is not that bad as people are describing him after playing only one match.
