agreed sarfaraz is way better than kamran akmal.i think he had enough chances and still he is failed to prove himself.he should not be included for twenty 20

Ikram Musawir Yousafzai | 10 years ago | Reply Yeah its true that kamran isn't that reliable, though he has the ability to play fast and make some quick runs but most of the time he throws his wicket away without any reason with a super-stupid shot. On the other hand Sarfraz seems better and promising. Wish Pakistan cricket team all the best in for the upcoming major event.
