By Saurabh Sharma October 21, 2019 • 18:54 PM View: 1163

Lahore, Oct 21: Former Pakistan skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed didn't find a place in the country's T20I and Test squads for their upcoming tour of Australia while experienced campaigners Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Hafeez were also left out in the shortest format.

After a whitewash against an inexperienced Lankan outfit in the recently concluded T20I series, several questions were raised over the leadership of Sarfraz and he was stripped off captaincy. Malik had already announced retirement from Tests and the 50-over format. Hafeez was part of Pakistan's T20I squad in South Africa earlier this year.
