“If God forbid something unfortunate happens, then I won’t be the only one going back home,” he allegedly said.
Sarfaraz has come in for some criticism after the defeat to India. Former Pakistan bowler Shoaib Akhter even called Sarfaraz ‘brainless’ multiple times in an impassioned rant about the poor decisions taken by the captain and what he said were the large number of mistakes in the match.
