Captain of any cricket team can respect command only if he performs well. Sir Gary Sobers, Steve Waugh, Ricky Ponting, Mike Brearley also elevated their game with the additional role of captaincy. Sarfraz can be assigned captaincy in the shorter format of the game i.e ODI and T20. Test cricket is still a much demanding and nerve-wracking form of cricket which truly tests all cords of the instrument. Azhar Ali can also be given test captaincy forthwith, he is currently the best test batsman of Pakistan cricket team after the departure of Misbah and Younis.
