Waqar abruptly ended the presser when asked why he did not play wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed, whose run-a-ball 49 as opening batsman and six dismissals were instrumental in Pakistan&rsquo;s 29-run (D/L) win over the Proteas, in earlier matches, saying he did not have time for &ldquo;stupid questions&rdquo;. Waqar lost his cool when a journalist asked if there was politics involved in not playing Sarfraz in earlier games and that the coach should take the blame for it.
Best team playing &ldquo;There are 15 boys and it&rsquo;s the best XI who have been playing. The best XI played today also. There is no politics involved. You are the one giving it a political twist,&rdquo; said Waqar.
&ldquo;Why should I take the blame? After all, Nasir Jamshed is also part of the team,&rdquo; he said.
