Former Pakistani cricketer Younis backs PCB's appointment of Hafeez as captain | Former Pakistan coach and legendary fast blower Waqar
Younis has backed the Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) decision to appoint Mohamad Hafeez as captain in the 20 over format and as vice captain for the 50 over matches.
Younis said Hafeez's selection was a wise move by the PCB. During an interview
with Pakpassion, Younis said: "Hafeez is an experienced cricketer and I think
it's a good move to give him the captaincy firstly in the shortest format." "It
would have been unwise to throw him into the deep end and give him the captaincy
in the longer formats. He is a fine choice, the right choice and I wish him well
and I hope that he will be successful," Younis added Speaking about getting support
from senior players in the team Younis said: "I hope that Hafeez gets the support
of all the players in the team and the squad, particularly the senior players".
"I sincerely hope that the guys who were thinking about becoming captain or hoping
that they would be chosen as captain, stop thinking about the issue of captaincy
and instead get behind Hafeez and support him for the sake of Pakistan cricket
and the country. They should forget their captaincy aspirations and support Hafeez,"
he added.
