Zaka Ashraf, Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) Management Committee, organized a one-on-one meeting with former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed on Friday.
PCB Chairman One-on-One Meeting With Sarfaraz Ahmed
According to sources, Mr. Zaka will meet privately with the former captain, and there will be a big conversation about the likely replacement of Babar Azam as captain and the absence of senior cricketers in the national squad.
According to recent reports, Babar Azam is set to be ousted as captain, a situation that has rippled throughout the cricketing community.
This decision comes in the wake of Pakistan’s terrible performance and a string of poor results in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.
Pakistan Lost 4 Consecutive Games in ICC World Cup 2023
Pakistan lost four consecutive games after winning the first two, with the most recent setback against Afghanistan particularly difficult for fans and veteran cricketers to accept.
PCB Chairman Zaka Ashraf recently met with former cricketers such as Aaqib Javed, Mohammad Yousaf, and PCB Chief Selector Inzamam-ul-Haq to seek expert input on how to improve player development.
The one-on-one meeting with Sarfaraz Ahmed is seen as critical for the cricket team’s future leadership.

With Babar Azam’s team needing to win all remaining matches and rely on the results of other teams to qualify for the World Cup, there is speculation that he may be replaced as captain if Pakistan fails to qualify.
Babar Azam, the world’s top ODI batsman, will be looking to make a statement with his performance.
