Former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed shared his thoughts on the team’s performance in the Champions Trophy. He appreciated the players’ hard work and dedication, even though the final results did not go in their favor. He said that every team competes to win, and while Pakistan gave their best effort, they were unable to secure the desired outcome.
Sarfaraz urged fans and experts to be fair in their analysis and avoid harsh criticism. He believes that supporting the team, especially during tough times, is important for their confidence and future growth. He also pointed out that New Zealand’s playing conditions are always tough, making it a challenge for any team to perform at their best. Despite this, he remains hopeful that Pakistan’s young players will learn from this experience and improve in future tournaments.
He also backed the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) decision to bring in a fresh team for the tournament. According to him, introducing new players is necessary for the team’s long-term development. He believes that giving younger players international exposure will help Pakistan build a stronger squad for future competitions.
Regarding the final match, Sarfaraz mentioned that India might have an advantage because they have been playing in Dubai. He suggested that being familiar with the pitch and weather conditions can give them a better chance of performing well.
