Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar believes Pakistan Cricket Board should drop Sarfaraz Ahmed from the captaincy of the team. Following Pakistan's disappointing campaign in the World Cup 2019, Shoaib Akhtar believes Pakistan cricket team needs a fresh approach and new leadership.

"He (Sarfaraz) should be used for his wicket-keeping and batting skills," Akhtar said in a video posted on his YouTube channel. "No way should he continue as captain of the team. He should not be the captain in any format."
