Pakistan wicket-keeper batter Mohammad Rizwanrevelead that he wanted Sarfaraz Ahmed to play in place of him during the England Test series.
Rizwan said he asked the management to drop him from the squad and play the former captain Sarfaraz as he was going through a poor form.
“You can ask the head coach SaqlainMushtaq that what I told him after the end of the England Test series,” said Rizwan.
“I was happy to see Sarfaraz perform because that is what I wanted. I personally thought that since I wasn’t able to perform, I didn’t deserve to play in the next series,"
Rizwan further added that Sarfaraz deserved his place in the side based on his domestic performances.
“I went to the coach and captain myself and told them that you can drop me because I haven’t performed. Two players are witnesses to this conversation,” he said.
“Sarfaraz has been performing in domestic and deserves his chance now. So I was happy to see Sarfaraz perform because I asked for his inclusion. Whoever performs best for Pakistan deserves to play,” he added.
