Former Pakistani skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972, for the shortest format of the game, Twenty20.
“There should be a change in the Twenty20 leadership,” said Moin while talking at a seminar.
Moin’s remarks came after speculation grew regarding Misbah’s position as the team gears up for their upcoming tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
The 40-year-old veteran believes that the new leader must be capable of taking quick and timely decisions on the field, along with contributing valuably with his own performances.
Misbah’s leadership has come under considerable threat in recent times, owing to his nonaggressive attitude, coupled with his defensive batting approach. His endeavours recently led to surprising defeats for the Green shirts at UAE against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, where
they resoundingly lost the limited-overs series, despite thumping the no.1 ranked Test side in the longer bouts by a 3-0 margin.
His record however, is impressive, where he has led his team to six victories, out of a possible 8, in T20s. He also led his side to lift their second Asia Cup triumph, following a victory over hosts http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 in the final.
Earlier, the fast bowling legend http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898 into taking charge of the Men in Green’s T20 assignments – which in turn will help the team move forward
and prepare adequately for the future.
“It is the right time to groom a captain for T20 and I think Hafeez is the right choice, in my opinion Misbah ul Haq’s leadership should be limited to ODI and test matches,” said http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stuart-Clark-c2591.
Apart from Hafeez, former skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Davenell-Frederick-Whatmore-c52571, the national team head coach, has also been impressed by Shoaib Malik’s leadership qualities after watching him during the recently concluded
domestic tournament.
The squad for the impending tour of Sri Lanka will be announced today, May 9, and while Misbah is set to be retained for the team’s longer formats, 50-over and Test, a potential successor for the T20 is expected to be unveiled.
