Aaqib Javed Wasim Akram, Fakhar Zaman PSL 6, Aaqib Javed and Moin Khan, Aaqib Javed Ramiz Raja, Aaqib Javed Haris Rauf, "I wonder who is suggesting appointing different captains for different formats. It is good that Sarfraz Ahmed came back and performed well, but it doesn't happen like that, that you play two Tests and shake the whole system," he told Geo News in an exclusive interview. The wicketkeeper-batter, who made his return to the national Test side after almost four years, smashed 355 runs in four innings against New Zealand. "There is no Test in eight months. All this is being done based on agenda and propaganda. It is indeed a challenge to take all three formats together, as it is difficult for the coaches and the captain," said AAqib, the head coach of PSL franchise Lahore Qalandars, Naseem Shah Zaman Khan, #PakvsEng Multan

Despite questionable decisions, such as dropping Babar Azam, Aaqib’s presence on the selection committee has allowed the Green Shirts to devise a formula for home pitches and form a winning combination accordingly. The former pacer deserves praise for making bold decisions and for bringing back players who had been sidelined prior to the start of this series.

Agha has repeatedly finished innings on a high note for Pakistan. His contributions down the order during the Multan Test helped the Green Shirts post a formidable total for the visitors to chase on the final day of the second Test.
