Pakistan's Azhar Ali came in for criticism over his form and leadership during their 1-0 series defeat in England but the 35-year-old said the thought of stepping down as captain never entered his mind.
Pakistan dominated much of the opening test in Manchester but England pulled off a memorable three-wicket victory by riding a 139-run sixth-wicket partnership between Jos Buttler and Chris Woakes.The hosts' dramatic win proved decisive as the next two matches ended in draws. "There were tough times when we lost the first test, and it was blamed entirely on me," Azhar told a virtual media conference when asked if he considered stepping down as captain following the criticism.
