Afridi should be made Pakistan captain: Mushtaq |
Former Pakistani leg-spinner Mushtaq
Ahmed has said the PCB should replace Pakistan captain Younis Khan with all-rounder
Shahid Afridi. "I think, it would be better if the PCB change the captain (Younus
Khan) and give the responsibility to Afridi. As Younus himself has said it does
not bother him if he is not the captain and he is willing to play as a senior
member of the side," The News quoted Mushtaq, as saying. Mushtaq is leaving for
South Africa this week to join England team as the bowling consultant. Mushtaq's
comments came a day after Afridi met with PCB Chairman Ejaz Butt to review the
team's performance in the Champions Trophy. In November, Pakistan is scheduled
to play a three-match one-day series against New Zealand in Abu Dhabi and two
Twenty20 matches in Dubai. Mushtaq feels that it is high time that Afridi should
be given the responsibility of captaincy. "Afridi is one of those players, who,
if given extra responsibility of captaincy will also raise his individual game.
We saw that happen in the Champions Trophy tie against the West Indies when he
put his head down and batted with responsibility," Mushtaq said. "The team needs
to play more positively without fear and Afridi can bring that element to the
team. "Besides, as a senior player and vice-captain he is not bothered about seeking
advice from other players. That is sign of a good captain," he added. |
