    "editor1": "<p><strong>Lahore, Aug 5.<\/strong>&nbsp;Pakistan head coach Mickey Arthur has recommended sacking of Sarfaraz Ahmed as captain of the team.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAccording to a report in thenews.com.pk, Arthur has told the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) that fast bowler Shadab Khan should replace Sarfaraz as captain in the limited-overs format while Babar Azam should lead the side in the Test format.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nArthur, in a review meeting held on August 2 with the PCB cricket committee, has also sought his extension as head coach for two more years. Besides, he also proposed appointing a Pakistani national as his assistant coach.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nEver since Pakistan&#39;s ouster from the World Cup in the group stage, many former cricketers have called for change in leadership for the Men in Green.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nEx-Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar believes that Haris Sohail should lead Pakistan in ODIs and T20Is whereas Babar Azam should be handed over the captaincy in Test cricket.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAkhtar had earlier lashed out at Sarfaraz following Pakistan&#39;s defeat to India in the round-robin stage of the World Cup and had termed the 32-year-old as a &quot;brainless captain&quot;.<\/p>\r\n",
