Former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed has once again responded to criticism over refusal to take the field in Twenty20 International (T20I) against England.

Earlier, it was reported that the 33-year-old was reluctant to play the game, after staying on the bench for the entire tour, citing deep reservations.

However, after being persuaded by head coach-cum-chief selector, Misbahul Haq, captain Babar Azam and batting coach Younis Khan, the Karachi native agreed to step onto the field with the side.

When a local journalist voiced his opinion on the matter while criticising the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for their double-standards, Sarfaraz responded with a tweet which indicated that he is still motivated to play cricket despite facing criticism.
