Rebuilding Pakistan need aggressive Sarfraz: Afridi

Former Pakistan star all-rounder Shahid Afridi believes Pakistan are rebuilding a team of youngsters and the ODI and T20I captain Sarfraz Ahmed needs to find players who fit in his plans, reports Express Tribune
Afridi was interviewed by International Cricket Council (ICC) where he said that Pakistan needs to put in a lot of hard work while moving forwards in all formats.
“We need a lot of hard work going forward,” said Afridi. “No doubt, Sarfraz is an aggressive captain and the team needs such an individual. My best wishes are with him and I hope he finds the right combination as soon as possible so that he can build his team and gain confidence.” Afridi, famously known as ‘Boom Boom’ for his ballistic batting style, while talking about his career said that the biggest achievement was to represent the Pakistan team. The 37-year-old, who played 398 ODIs, 98 T20Is and 27 Tests for Pakistan, said that he saw a lot of faces while adorning the green jersey.
“My performances were up and down but you can expect that in a 20-21 year career,” he said. “Cricket makes you cry more than it makes you laugh. We laughed, cried, enjoyed ourselves and a great deal, even became emotional and we were aggressive at times as well. So we have been through many phases. I never thought of playing for so many years and I would like to thank the Almighty for this.”
