Legendary Pakistan pace bowler Shoaib Akhtar believes that Sarfraz Ahmed needs to be stripped of the captaincy.

Akhtar’s comments come after Pakistan failed to qualify for the World Cup semi-finals.

Akhtar pointed out that while someone else should take over as captain, he said that Sarfraz should remain in the team as a wicketkeeper-batsman.

“He should be used for his keeping and batting skills,” Akhtar was quoted as saying by cricketpakistan.com.pk. “No way should he continue as captain of the Pakistan cricket team. He should not be the captain in any format.”
