Lahore: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shahryar Khan has confirmed the appointment of Azhar Ali as the new captain and wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed as the vice-captain of the Pakistan ODI team, with Misbah-ul haq captaining only the test side.

Azhar Ali who has 14 ODIs to his name scoring 452 runs at an average of 41.09, last appeared for Pakistan on 2013.
