Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ehsan Mani has said that the cricket committee will be consulted about the Test captain and will not talk about captain Azhar Ali at this time but there is a mechanism to change the captain. In an interview to Jang on Thursday, he said that the chairman of the cricket committee was not present but the opinion of the members could be sought. Sources said that a year after the removal of Sarfraz Ahmed from the Test captaincy, Azhar Ali is finding it difficult to retain the captaincy and the name of Muhammad Rizwan is being considered for the captaincy. PCB officials recently approved the annual Azhar Ali after completing one year. Wasim Khan had a separate talk with Azhar Ali in Pindi.

The decision to remove Sarfraz is mine, the Prime Minister does not interfere, Ihsan Mani

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ehsan Mani has said that his decision to remove Sarfraz was his.

In an exclusive interview with Correspondent Jang on Thursday, Ehsan Mani dismissed the notion that the PCB had received instructions from Bani Gala to remove Sarfraz Ahmed from the captaincy, saying it was purely my decision.

He keeps taking guidance from Prime Minister Imran Khan on various issues, he is busy running the country and he does not interfere in the affairs of cricket.

We are running the affairs of the cricket board according to Imran Khan’s vision. In the next few years, the fruits of the new system will begin to emerge.

At the moment, I will not comment on the removal of Azhar Ali from the Test captaincy. There is speculation in the media that the decision on the Test captaincy after the Zimbabwe series will be taken after consultation with the cricket committee.
