Former Pakistan captain Misbah Ul Haq was all praise for the “young team” after Pakistan, led by Sarfraz Ahmed, beat England in the Champions Trophy 2017 semi-final on Wednesday.
Misbah congratulated the team but kept his special praises for Pakistan’s new ODI captain Sarfraz Ahmed.
In a tweet soon after Pakistan’s victory, Misbah hailed Sarfraz “for devising excellent strategies and then executing them in a remarkable fashion” which led the underdogs to beat a so far unbeatable England side.
So happy to see a young captain making excellent decisions and a young team executing those plans perfectly.Very well done @SarfarazA_54
