M. Hafeez and Sohail Tanvir are best next captaincy options

A big gap of leadership was found in the Pakistan cricket team regarding captaincy when captaincy was taken back from Shahid Afridi after West indies tour. Than whole story of unnecessary issues was told from PCB and Shahid Afridi. Afridi did not like that way of sacking him from captainship and some how media wasn’t told clear information on which Shahid Afridi was removed from captaincy. Than Misbah-ul-haq who was already the test side captain of Pakistan, was made captain of Pakistan team in all formats with Hafeez as vice-captain.

Afridi’s NOC to play county cricket and other leagues was dismissed, and former captain sued PCB on this dismissal, some how PCB and Afridi managed to clear their problems and their issues were resolved and Afridi was provided NOC, during this confrontation, Afridi had been given retirement from International cricket. Pakistan’s cricket fans and some sports analysts believed that his retirement was not necessary and especially fans rejected his retirement, and still they want him back in the team.

After all that, Pakistan’s coach initiated a new topic of succession management of captaincy which is a good sign of leadership decision making. Thats mean we have to plan and groom our upcoming captain as misbah is already 36 or 37 and definitely he will not be available for next world cup in 2015. In my point of view we have to add three players in the top 11 of our squad which are Muhammad Yousuf, Shoaib Malik and Sohail Tanvir, they are MUST be in Pakistan team. Sohail Tanvir who led Rawalpindi Rams in Faysal bank T20 cup 2011 and won the title and media experts of sports appreciated his leadership, so he must be in the team and should be groomed for next captaincy and off course Hafeez, who is already vice-captain. Hafeez and Sohail both have qualities to communicate and contact well, they are good cricketers and can be polished for captaincy.
