Sarfraz Ahmed's lifting of shoes did not go unnoticed by the former cricketers, while Shoaib Akhtar said that this treatment of the former captain, who led the country for four years and won the Champions Trophy, was not appropriate.
Former Test cricketer Shoaib Akhtar has said that it was not good to see Sarfraz Ahmed carrying shoes in the Old Trafford Test, the man who led for 4 years and won the Champions Trophy, you cannot treat him like that, if he Wasim Akram never took off my shoes, it also shows that Sarfraz Ahmed has a weak personality, so head coach Mickey Arthur dominated him, he led Pakistan I would not say that there is anything wrong with lifting shoes, but a former captain should not do that.
Rashid Latif also questioned that other senior players including Wahab Riaz and Mohammad Amir are seen in track suits instead of kits, this is not team spirit, on the other hand this is proof of Sarfraz's passion for the game and his good style. He did not feel ashamed to pick up his shoes, however, this should not have happened.
On the other hand, while talking to the media, head coach and chief selector Misbah-ul-Haq said that such a discussion can only take place in Pakistan, there is nothing disrespectful in this move of Sarfraz, in a match played in Australia. Despite being the captain, I had to sit outside and play the role of the 12th player. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Sarfraz is a team man and a good man. He knew that other players were practicing outside. It is to help fellow players, it is the greatness of the former captain that he did not feel any disgust in doing so, it is a sign of being a good team.
