Re: Younis Khan refuses Kaptaani in 3rd Test/ Mohd Yousuf too
yaar apni taez gaam noun zara lagaam do. Younis Khan may not be harfan maula…but the way I see it there are mostly *khaleefas *among our team and board officials with big egos and personal agendas!!
Iss (management) mein khaleefon kee kamee nahin ghalib
aik dhoondo hazaar miltay hein
You are conveniently ignoring the rude and uncompromising attitude of board officials who did not consult Younis before naming the squad on the morning of the second test. I appreciate it was an eleventh hour decision but the management should still have taken the stand-in captain into confidence about the composition of the team. I mean how long does it take to get someone’s opinion on 11 players? maybe 5 or 10 minutes at most! Younis was rightly peeved about all that. He is a senior player, a team man who deserves some respect.
Now again it seems that Younis wanted Abdul Rauf but the management has instead gone for Rao Iftikhar without consulting him. Rao is not really a strike bowler but a line and length bowler more suited to the demands of ODIs.
The captain is obliged to consult the team management/selectors on the possible composition of the team and vice versa but at the same I feel that a captain’s say should be the final word and respected by everyone since it is often him who has to face the wrath of everyone when things go horribly wrong. Younis simply can’t be expected to take mere dictation from them.
