Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed firmly believes that opener Fakhar Zaman is “still one of our best players” despite his disappointing performance at the World Cup.

Zaman accumulated 186 runs in eight matches, which included a half-century, at an average of 23.25.

Despite this, Sarfraz has defended the 29-year-old, who has been criticised for his failure to have an impact throughout the tournament.

“Fakhar in some matches started well, sometimes he didn’t. Fakhar is one of our best players, good and bad times come for everyone. He was in form in the England series and he tried his best and he’s still one of our best players,” Sarfraz was quoted as saying by PakPassion.
