Sarfaraz Ahmed&#39;s men finished fifth in the points table -- at equal points (11) with New Zealand after the round-robin stage. However, the Black Caps qualified as the fourth team for the semi-finals owing to better net run-rate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In his place, former Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq was appointed as the head coach cum chief selector<\/p>\r\n",
