Soon after that, Sarfaraz Ahmad responded by saying, “whoever was playing in the team was the number one wicket-keeper at that time.
Sarfaraz said that Tasleem Arif, Imtiaz Ahmed, Wasim Bari, Kamran Akmal, and Rashid Latif were the number one wicket-keeper batsmen when they were playing.”
Hafeez bhai Sb, whoever has played for Pakistan from Imtiaz Ahmed, Wasim Bari, Tasleem Arif to Saleem Yousuf and from Moin Khan, Rashid Latif to Kamran Akmal and even Rizwan right now has always been number ONE for the country and have been respected accordingly. https://t.co/dF7BScOurl

The Former Pakistan bowler, Mohammad Amir, joined in the debate and defended Sarfaraz. He said, ” Sarfaraz was also the number one wicket-keeper. He was the reason Pakistan became the world number one in T20Is and won the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy.”

Sarfaraz was dropped from the national team in 2019 after a poor performance. He has since been replaced by Mohammad Rizwan, who has secured his place in the national team across all formats.
