Madness continues.
Randomness continues.
A day before the selectors name squad for ODIs. They chose Afridi and Misbah. And 14 others. None of them are ending in Asif, Amir or Butt. They dont name anybody as captain. So Ukkumal expects he could be the captain. And yes Mr Dhadhi (beard) MoYo is selected too.
A day later Afridi is named captain for ODIs and Misbah is named for Tests.
Phew. Reasons behind not naming Afridi captain on day 1 is "not so good reviews on captaincy by management in England" and "public comments" which did not go down well with board. Who in the board? The face of the board. Mr Butt.
On day 2 everything goes well and Afridi's sins are washed away. He is back as captain.
More drama.
Test squad is named. No Younis, no Kakkumal, no 3 fixers.
Misbah is captain. A man who has not played a test in almost 11 months is captain now. Here is the list of captains:
1. SL : Younis Khan
2. NZ : Dhadhi Man
3. Aus : Dhadhi Man
4. Aus : Afridi
5. Aus : Butt
6. Eng: Butt
7. SA : Misbah
8. NZ : ?
No one knows who would be next captain next series. Who knows Butt Ijazie would declare himself fit to play and take over the captaincy against NZ.
All the talks and calls for culling of Ijazie have gone down and he continues to operate in his own way. Thats in our favor. We get more laughters and more fun.
