Quetta Gladiators owner Nadeem Omar admitted that he feels bad for former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed as he has been “going through turmoil for the last two years”.
Sarfaraz used to be undroppable when leading the national team. However, when he was removed as captain, he also lost his place in the side as Mohammad Rizwan surpassed him as the go-to wicketkeeper-batsman.
Since Rizwan has excelled in the position, Sarfaraz often finds himself on the bench and has only featured in a handful of international matches.
Nadeem admitted it is tough to see Sarfaraz going through this, especially considering how much experience he has.
“Sarfaraz is going through turmoil for the last two years,” he told Cricket Pakistan.
Sarfaraz hasn’t been picked for the upcoming limited overs series against Australia, which will comprise of three ODIs and a one-off T20 International.
The series will begin on March 29 in Lahore.
