Pakist­an captai­n reassu­res vetera­ns they can still be select­ed for the team in the future­Pakistan cricket team captain Sarfraz Ahmed has brushed aside criticism he received from veteran wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Akmal and opening batsman Salman Butt over their non-selection in the team. Akmal has been sidelined after the emergence of Sarfraz as the Men in Green’s first-choice wicketkeeper-batsman, whereas Butt is yet to represent the Green Caps after finishing his ban in the spot-fixing scandal. We never decide which players’ career is over. Weather in the UAE will be one of the toughest challenge during the competition, and Sarfraz believes team’s bowling at night will have the advantage. “We are playing the tournament in extremely hot conditions which will be very tough for any team,” he said.
