“Misbah and Waqar never liked Sarfaraz. I am shocked that the PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) has removed Sarfaraz from captaincy in T20 cricket. He has led Pakistan to 11 consecutive T20 series wins and you can’t remove him due to [a] few poor performances,” the 48-year-old Moin was quoted as saying by Pakistan’s ARY News.

Sarfaraz Ahmed is the most successful skipper Pakistan has ever had in the T20s as he led the national team to 29 wins out of 37 matches.

Moin Khan also believed that the PCB made a mistake by appointing Misbah as both head coach and chief selector. “I think making a single person too powerful won’t work for Pakistan’s cricket,” he added.
