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.

Pakistan Beats india in ICC championship match – Afterlost effects!

Congratulations Pakistan team! A great team effort against india. I have been waiting for this match. A very historical cricket played by Pakistani team especially M. Yousuf and Shoaib malik (made second highest runs partnership from Pakistan against india – 206 runs). Highest ODI partnership of 230 runs played by Ijaz ahmad and Saeed Anwar in 1998 against india. Now india needs to beat both Australia and west Indies to survive in ICC Championship and Pakistan is almost secured to play semi final. Indians of course not happy on this loss. Their media and people blame and criticize more than Pakistani people and media on our team when team loses. They should not react like extremists at the lost of game. I remember how Ghambir abused Pakistani supporters near pavilion when Pakistanis were shouting and enjoying the victory moments …

Congratulations! PAKISTAN – The T20 WorldCup Champion!

Pakistan Zinda Bad ! It was the night of 21 june 09. The greatest game of cricket I have ever seen in my life. Superb T20 worldup final match was played between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka gave the target of 138 runs in 20 overs. Pakistan chased and won the game at the end of 19th over by 8 wickets. I was watching people dancing outside the houses and enjoying the victory. Media covered victorious moments of people across the cities. The match was unpredictable, in start Pakistan was strong, after that Sri lanka was looking to be the winner, at last Pakistan started batting. In the start, batting was quite good. After 10 overs Pakistani batsmen were not highly dominated then (BOOM BOOM AFRIDI) came and changed the whole scene. Shahid Afridi played a tremendous inning of 54 runs (not out) and wrote his name as the man of the match in T20 Worldcup final 2009.

Accept my heartiest Congrats!
