Sarfaraz Nawaz not impressed by Younis Khan's 'shenanigans' |
Former Pakistan fast bowler Sarfaraz Nawaz
has lambasted captain Younis Khan for raking up a controversy by resigning from
his post, and said that he (Khan) should concentrate more on his batting rather
than holding onto the captaincy. "He is losing his form and a non-performing captain
can't lead a team properly. He must say good-bye to captaincy and concentrate
more on his batting and to retain his form. A cricketer must perform to stay in
the team though he be a captain," The News quoted Nawaz, as saying. He criticized
Khan for his demand to give him more powers as the skipper of the national squad,
saying it was 'contemptible' on part of Khan to say so. "England's Kevin Peitersen
also demanded something similar but the England and Wales Cricket Board took away
the captaincy from him. Such a exemplary course of action should also be taken
against Younis," Nawaz said. "The most successful captain Ricky Ponting never
demanded such things but see Younis, what he wants to do, he wants selection committee
of his choice, coach and manager. A captain must not interfere in such affairs
of the board," he added. Nawaz suggested that Shahid Afridi should be appointed
the captain of the team, as a section of players are miffed with Khan's approach
towards captaincy. "This will have positive impacts on the team as the team players
are not happy with Younis and many of them have complained that his behavior with
them has been insulting," he said. |
