Another omission that was a surprising one was that of veteran wicketkeeper-batsman Sarfaraz Ahmed. The 34-year-old has played 60 T20Is for the Pakistan side and has scored 812 runs at a decent average of 28.00 and a strike rate in excess of 125.
While Mohammad Rizwan was a sure-shot pick in the Pakistan squad as the wicket-keeper batsman as he is in red hot form and has already scored 752 runs this year at an average of 94.00 in T20Is, Sarfaraz could have been drafted into the squad in place of Azam Khan.
Khan experienced an ordinary run in the 2021 edition of the PSL with the bat, where he scored just 174 runs at a poor average of 17.40. Also, Azam Khan does not have a lot of experience at the international level and has represented the ‘Men in Green’ in just 3 T20Is thus far. Sarfaraz will consider himself unlucky in missing out on a place in the Pakistan squad for the T20 World Cup this year.
