Watch Inzamam’s blunt response to question over captain Sarfraz

Pakistan cricket chief selector and former captain Inzamam-ul-Haq gave a downright reply to a media person when questioned about Sarfraz Ahmed's wicket-keeping in the upcoming tour of England and Ireland.

When asked what will happen if Sarfraz catches a cold as there is no back-up wicket-keeper, Inzamam replied cheekily, "Inshallah we will try to make sure he stays warm and does not catch a cold."

Meanwhile, on a serious note, the cricket chief selector was of the view that he is hopeful to see Sarfraz lead from the front and perform during the series.

"Also the captain has to lead from the front. Inshallah, we hope that Sarfaraz will improve his performance and play an important role for his team," said Inzamam.

Pakistan will play against Ireland, which will be their first-ever Test against Pakistan from May 11 to May 15 in Dublin. Pakistan will then play two Tests against England at Lord’s from May 24 to May 28 and Headingley from June 1 to June 5.
