Former Pakistan captain and Test cricketer Sarfaraz Ahmed issued a clarification over his recent statement, which sparked speculation about his retirement from international cricket.
In an interview with a local news channel, the Champions Trophy 2017 winning captain took the time to clarify his future plans.
Sarfaraz Ahmed said that he is still actively playing cricket and is willing to take advantage of any possibilities that present themselves, despite the persistent rumors that he is retiring after being excluded from the selection for the South Africa tour.
If given another chance, he reiterated his dedication to playing for Pakistan in whatever position.
“I’ve never demanded, ‘I want to bat here or there.’ If I am given the chance to play for the national team, I will gladly accept it,” he stated.
The former captain stated that his decision to retire is deeply personal, and he will step down whenever he feels he can no longer contribute as a player.
