It has been reported that head coach Mickey Arthur has recommended to the PCB's Cricket Committee that Sarfaraz should be sacked from captaincy as he himself sought two more years to deliver "remarkable results".
Amid these reports, Sarfaraz has landed himself in another controversy. Sarfaraz uploaded pictures and videos ahead of the occasion of Bakr Eid with a comment on 'Qurbani'. The festival sees a number of cattle like goat, sheep, buffalo and camel being sacrificed.
'Tayyariyan mukammal hain..Stage set hai... Eid_e_Qurban Ka intizar. Qurban hone ko hamarey bachrey bhi tayyaar aur beytaab hain. Allah tala sab ki qurbani aur tayyariyan qubool farmaye,' Sarfraz posted on his Twitter account.
The post has drawn a lot of flak from the fans for flaunting the sacrifice of animals on social media. The fans even asked People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to take some against Sarfaraz.Tayyariyan mukammal hain..

@peta what is this? Why no reactions? Now animal killing is okay with you? And when we use the ghee and milk obtained from cow it's cruelty? #Hypocrisy

Damn the God that advocate killing of other animal to ease them. Totally against Bali pratha and qurbani. Allah asked to make qurbani of son, you can do that...
