"He (Sarfaraz) is t doing any favour for himself. He is only creating difficulties for himself, and I’m sure he won’t have any answer for that today," Butt had said. "He needs to concentrate on himself; he needs to look after his own performance, as he has been travelling with Pakistan team as a second-choice wicketkeeper in past 1.5 years. He needs to look after his own performance and t interfere with ors," he said.
