Chairman Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will kindly consult on the T 20 captain next week.

Sarfraz Ahmad was appointed captain for the series against Sri-Lanka, PCB also has to be appointed captain for the Test team.
The Pakistan cricket team will depart Australia this month where the first three T 20 matches will be played. Sarfraz Ahmed was appointed captain of the T 20 series against Sri Lanka only.

Chairman PCB will announce the captaincy for the series against Australia next week.

Sources say the squad and captaincy for Australia's tour could be announced during the All-T 20 Cup, which starts in Faisalabad from October 13.

Sir Faraz Ahmed is likely to be retained as captain of the Twenty 20 while a new Test captain can be brought in to ease the burden of Sarfraz Ahmed and Azhar Ali is being declared a strong candidate.
