Khan, Afridi deadlock comes to end in secret ‘truce’ meeting |
Pakistan cricket captain Younis Khan and his deputy Shahid Afridi have reportedly resolved their
differences during a close-door meeting arranged by the officials of a local team
which both the players represent. According to sources privy to the development,
the truce meeting between the players was organized by Sports Division Head of
Habib Bank Limited, Abdul Raquib with the view that the nation needed a united
team for the packed cricketing schedule ahead. “There was obviously some misunderstanding
between the two. They have also realised that some people and players in the team
were trying to create a wedge between them for their own sake,” The Daily Times
quoted sources, as saying. Speculations were rife that Afridi may take over the
captaincy from Khan following the latter’s resignation from the post recently.
But with the stalemate between Khan and the PCB being resolved and the board agreeing
to retain Khan as the skipper of the national squad till 2011, Pakistan cricket
fans can hope for better results from their team in tournaments ahead. |
