Skippe­r feels it's only a matter of time before southp­aw gets a recall­KARACHI: Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed has reiterated that the national team’s doors aren’t closed on batsman Fawad Alam and that the fan favourite can still have a future at international level. Fawad was recently recalled to the National Cricket Academy where he met several coaches, and Sarfraz believes that is a clear sign that the seemingly out-of-favour batsman is still pretty much in contention for a return to the national fold. Sarfraz also clarified that the selectors always consult him and take his suggestions before announcing squads for the national team. “This cricket team plays for Pakistan, and whoever performs well will get a fair chance to represent the country. Tour of New ZealandNext up for the national team is the tour of New Zealand — and assignment Sarfraz is hopeful of passing with flying colours.
