McCullum can still achieve his desire of being a captain: Vettori |
New Zealand skipper Daniel Vettori has said that having
the vice-captaincy tag removed from Brendon McCullum would not deter him from
being a captain in future. The decision to strip McCullum of his vice-captaincy
post was taken by the selectors, who want to get him back into his best form,
and develop more leaders within the squad. "We had a long discussion, we talked
about where we wanted to go from here and how to make this team better. He's fully
on board and still has an immense desire to captain the team. I don't see why
he can't in the future," The New Zealand Herald quoted Vettore, as saying. He
also lauded selectors' efforts to develop more leaders in the squad by dividing
the responsibility among senior players such as Jacob Oram, Kyle Mills, McCullum
and Ross Taylor. "Sometimes when you get a vice-captain in place you don't leave
yourself many other options. I know my fellow selectors want to look at a number
of people, Brendon included," Vettori added. Vettori further said that McCullum's
form with the bat has been below par in the recent times and emphasized that that
he should be concentrating on his batting. There is no formal vice captain for
the trip to the United Arab Emirates, where New Zealand will play against Pakistan
in three one-day internationals on November 3, 6 and 9 and two Twenty20 internationals
on November 12 and 13. |
