Lahore, Azhar Ali got the ‘life line’ of captaincy of one day cricket. There was pressure on him to give the resignation from the captaincy voluntarily but this expedition was failed and PCB is starting mediating on this aspect that this matter will be discussed once again after the series with West Indies.
During the matches in UAE, the manager of the national team will be Waseem Bari instead of Intikhab Alam. According to the detail, after the defeat from England in the one day series, the style of captaincy of Azhar Ali was discussed. The PCB officials directed him to leave the captaincy and he should play as common player in the national team. He was feared that if he leaves the captaincy, then there will be no room for him in the national team. The head of the board is in hospital and the head coach, Mickey Arthur is also not present in Pakistan. So there is chance that Sarfaraz Ahmed will not be announced as captain. The matter of the captaincy will be observed after the series with West Indies
Now the chairman of PCB was informed that he would not leave the captaincy of the team and some senior cricketers were also not in favor of doing some hasty decisions. This matter will be analyzed after the series with West Indies. It is also decided that the manager of the national team is changed and Intikhab Alam is replaced with Waseem Bari as manager of the national cricket team in UAE.
