The skipper says, teams took part in Champions Trophy despite security concerns
Pakistan cricket team captain Sarfraz Ahmed has said that international teams took part in the Champions Trophy in England despite security concerns; hence it is now time for international cricket to resume in Pakistan.
While addressing a press conference at Karachi Press Club, the skipper said, “Pakistan cricket is facing a detrimental loss because of no home cricket. Captaining the national test side is nothing less than a challenge and the team will certainly miss Misbahul Haq and Younis Khan.”
He added that the cricket team has a good combination of senior and junior players. “It is vital for a cricket team to have senior players in the squad and the seniors must be in the team if they are performing well,” Sarfraz said.
Sarfraz was of the view that the Pakistan Super League provided the young players with some much-needed exposure. “Shadab Khan and Fakhar Zaman have played domestic cricket but PSL gave them an identity,” he said.
He said that Pakistan cricket has a got a new life after winning the Champions Trophy as people now have raised their expectations for the team. “We have to progress more and win more series,” Sarfraz said.
