http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 today at Abu Dhabi.
After losing the first T20 by 8runs, the tourists managed to make a swift recovery – winning the second game by a 38-run margin, which included an excellent half-century form youngster Jonny Bairstow.
Broad also expressed his pleasure over leading a young team in a pressure situation. "I am excited by the future of this team and I see myself as a guy who will back players and pick guys who will perform in pressure scenarios," he said.
Indian cricketing legend, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 as the Test skipper.
The team has performed miserably on their away assignments, since lifting the World Cup 2011 on their home soil, which includes two Test whitewashes at the hands of England and Australia.
Currently the team is playing in a tri-series Down Under, but has failed to improve and currently occupy the bottom position on the points table, behind http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746. With rumours of a rift among Dhoni and senior players, Bedi has suggested
that it’s time to move on and replace the World Cup winning skipper in the longer version.
"This is the job of selectors and I don't wish to pressurise them. But personally speaking Dhoni might have his day. I think there is definitely room for a new Test captain,” said Bedi.
