Misbah a stopgap Test captain.

Question

What did Wasim Akram say about Misbah as a Test captain? Can someone tell me the remarks of Wasim Akram about Misbah?

Answer 1

It’s been a while since Pakistan have seen stable leadership on and off the field. If the team is waiting for a long-term skipper then the cricket board is also looking at an able chairman. The selectors have tested every senior player in the side before turning to Misbahul Haq to lead the Test side. Mohammad Yousuf, Younus Khan, Shahid Afridi and Salman Butt have all failed in their ability to hold the team together. And I believe the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) decision to appoint Misbah as captain against South Africa in UAE is only a stopgap arrangement. I feel that they are looking at an 8 to 9-month period before they can find a good leader. My advice to Pakistan would be to appoint a deputy under Misbah who can take over the reigns in the future.
