Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), who had recently sacked Sarfaraz Ahmed from captaincy have now dropped him for their upcoming Australian tour. Sarfraz, 32, was stripped last week ahead of the Australia series with Azhar Ali and Babar Azam being appointed new skippers of Pakistan’s Test and T20I sides respectively. Pakistan will play three Twenty20 internationals in Sydney (November 3), Canberra (November 5) and Perth (November 8). The two Tests will be in Brisbane (Nov 21-25) and Adelaide (Nov 29-Dec 03). Head coach and chief selector Misbah-ul-Haq said Pakistan need to do well in Australia following a disappointing summer.
