According to Cricket Pakistan, Sarfaraz was feeling uncertain and depressed about his future and decided to leave Pakistan and move to London. Apart from the Test series in Australia, Sarfaraz also failed to perform well in the two Test matches in Sri Lanka last year. There he was successful in scoring 17, 1 and 14* runs in his three innings.
However, the 36-year-old performed brilliantly with the bat during the home Test series against New Zealand 12 months ago. He scored 335 runs in four innings at an average of 83.75, which included one century and three half-centuries, during his comeback series.
Now Sarfaraz Ahmed can be seen playing in county cricket
Meanwhile, there is also news that Sarfaraz is now likely to follow the footsteps of Cheteshwar Pujara and play in the County Championship. He has previously represented Yorkshire in county cricket. Sarfaraz Ahmed will be in action in the upcoming edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), where he will represent Quetta Gladiators. The star batsman has scored 1503 runs in 68 innings at a strike rate of 123.80, which includes seven half-centuries in the T20 tournament.
Quetta will start their 2024 PSL campaign against Peshawar Zalmi at the Gaddafi Stadium on February 18. Overall, Sarfaraz has represented Pakistan in 54 Tests, 117 ODIs and 61 T20Is, scoring 6,164 runs with the help of six centuries and 35 fifties. He has led the Men in Green to victory in the 2006 U19 World Cup and 2017 Champions Trophy victories.
