Pakistan are likely to rest their captain Sarfaraz Ahmed during the five-match ODI series against Australia which begins on March 22, with Shoaib Malik in line to lead the team again. There’s the Australia series then there’s Pakistan Cup at home and the England tour. He has enough time for the World Cup, he will be back in the rhythm. After Australia series we have England series and then practice matches. This is also the preparation of the World Cup and it’s better to play with the same combination.
