So, here is a look at what Misbah-ul-Haq had to say about Sarfaraz Ahmed playing the T20 world cup in Australia later in the year.
So, Did Misbah-ul-Haq Hint At Including Sarfaraz Ahmed?
Misbah-ul-Haq was all praise for the former captain and while talking to a news channel said that, “Sarfaraz has been playing very well in the PSL 2020 and he is also fit. While he is in consideration for the World Cup, there will be matches after the PSL to decide which player will get the call.”

Who Else Is In Competition?
The 32 year old stands a good chance because Mohd. Rizwan hasn’t quite shown the desired form in the shortest format of the game. Moreover, others in competition have issues of their own. For example, Kamran Akmal’s age is a certain barrier and hence, his selection is likely to make for plenty of criticism. Others like Azam Khan, Rohail Nazir and Zeeshan Ashraf lack the experience that is required during big events.
So, Can Sarfaraz Ahmed Actually Make It To The Squad?
Well! He is likely to, simply because Pakistan at the moment seem to have little choice. However, Misbah has a habit of surprising everyone with his selection methods and therefore, Sarfaraz will have to be on his toes throughout the ongoing PSL 5 as well as after the tournament.
