**Interview with Ehsan Mani, Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Mr. Mani. There has been much discussion regarding Sarfaraz Ahmed’s recent exclusion from the national cricket team. Can you give us some insight into the factors that led to this decision?
**Ehsan Mani:** Certainly. The decision to remove Sarfaraz Ahmed was not taken lightly. As chairman of the PCB, my priority is to ensure the team’s success on the international stage. Recently, our team faced a disappointing performance against Sri Lanka, where we were whitewashed in a three-match T20 series on home soil. This was a significant factor in our evaluation of team leadership and performance.
**Interviewer:** Many fans are curious about how performance metrics weigh into these decisions. Was Sarfaraz’s individual performance a critical aspect of the decision?
**Ehsan Mani:** While Sarfaraz has been a dedicated player and leader for the team, his recent performances did not meet the standards we expect at the international level. We need players who can consistently perform under pressure, and sadly, that wasn’t the case recently. It’s important to align our captaincy and team composition with the current demands of the game.
**Interviewer:** What other considerations played a role in the decision-making process?
**Ehsan Mani:** It was also about the broader vision for the team. We are looking to build a squad that is not only resilient but also capable of adapting to different formats of the game. We believe that new leadership could reinvigorate the team and help foster a winning mentality, especially following disappointing series.
**Interviewer:** Looking ahead, what steps will the PCB take to ensure the team’s success in future tournaments?
**Ehsan Mani:** We are focusing on identifying the right leadership and selecting players who can contribute positively to the team dynamic. Regular performance evaluations will be in place, along with providing coaching support tailored to the players’ needs. Our goal is to build a competitive team that can compete at the highest levels of international cricket.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Mr. Mani. It seems the PCB is focused on a strategic approach to develop the team moving forward.
**Ehsan Mani:** Thank you for having me. We appreciate the support from the fans and remain committed to building a successful cricketing future for Pakistan.
