Islamabad, Sep 22 : Pakistan cricket captain Inzamam-ul-Haq will replace the still unfit Sachin Tendulkar in the World XI squad that will play Australia in the Super Series next month.
“It is an honour to play for the World XI with the world’s best players. Although naturally I would have liked to be in the original squad, the selectors have their own criteria for selecting teams on which I can’t comment,” The News Thursday quoted Inzamam as saying.
The burly Pakistan captain had earlier said he would not be making the trip to Australia to attend the ICC captains meet in Sydney as he suffers from a chronic back problem that is aggravated by long haul flights.
He, however, decided on going after he got the invitation to be part of the World XI squad – Tendulkar opted out Wednesday as he is still recuperating from an elbow injury.
Inzamam said he would break his journey on his way to Australia to avoid any recurrence of his back problem. The veteran of 101 Tests and 347 one-day internationals said he had also decided to go to Australia and play in the Super Series as it would be his last opportunity to play in Australia.
“Australia is special for me as I first made my name there in the 1992 World Cup and I have always enjoyed playing there,” he said. “Pakistan’s next tour to Australia is in 2008 and realistically I don’t think I would be able to make that tour. So I have decided to make this one final trip there and do something special.”
