Sarfraz Nawaz: “There should be a three-member selection committee and [merely] sacking Wahab and Abdul Razzaq would not be enough. Not even Asad Shafiq (a silent spectator) and Mohammad Yousuf are capable of delivering”

Pakistan selector Abdul Razzaq believes opening batsman Saim Ayub only needs “one good innings” to become a deadly force.

Abdul Razzaq: “When I got this job opportunity then one thing we were supposed to do was give everyone justice. So we chose Babar Azam who is the best option”
