Pakistan batsman Azhar Ali has made it clear that he wasn’t removed as ODI captain.
Azhar, who averages 36.90 in the 50-over format, quit from the leadership role in February 2017 in the midst of mounting pressure and was succeeded by Sarfaraz Ahmed.
The 36-year-old also pointed out that he decided to give up the Test vice-captaincy since it was “a wise decision” at that time.
