PCB's chairman Ehsan Mani announced that the wicketkeeper will also lead the side in the 5-match ODI series against Australia in the lead-up to the global event.

“There’s no doubt that Sarfraz Ahmed is our captain and he will remain so until any other decision is taken,” Mani was quoted as saying.

“There are speculations after every series in the media which is unsubstantiated. He will captain Pakistan in the Australia series (in the ODI series) and in the World Cup. After it, we will sit and evaluate the performance,” he said.
