Re: Afridi dropped from Ireland tour?/PCB decides to dump Afridi
a young captain was appointed after the 07 WC only to be back stabbed by seniors who thought captaincy should not be given to young player no matter how promising that individual be as a future captain. Those seniors gave(and still give) a rat’s ass to Pakistan cricket and its future.
One irnonic thing that I see if Hafeez is given captaincy in future is that he was given consistent chances in the team since mid last year when he was a proven tried tested and failed international cricketr since 2003 - 2009 (and now after being given constant chances he has improved a bit), it was done to keep another player out of team, ( whose batting skills were (with the slump of form he was in last september) same as Hafeez, who could bowl 4, 5 overs of off spin and was best fielder in the team), because that player could have been a theart to Afridi’s captaincy. And now that Hafeez, who was given chances to keep that player out, is being expected to be next captain…How ironic!
