Younus Khan
First it was Afridi, now its Younus Khan. Younus, how long have you been playing the Cricket for Pakistan Team ? only 6 Years. What is the best shot Younus plays ?, Sweep Shot. I doubt that Younus can play any other shot.
So, I think you should be a part time handy bowler ?, nay. Ok, then what about the Fielding capabilities ?, mediocre I think. But listen, he can do part time wicket keeping for Pakistan, Yeah I know, and how many times do you need a part time wicket keeper ?.
So, can we rely on his Batting, I mean completely rely ?, Nope, I don’t put my trust on him as a middle order. How about opening ?, I think we also tried him as an opener, but could not succeed. Ok, does the whole team trusts him ?, No Comments.
Here we have a very classical example of how we ruin some good players. We bring them in the team, occasionally they score some runs. Then you have a place for a Vice - Captain, and then you make him fill that gap. Come on, how many times did he lead his First Class Team ?. The guy does not have a leadership experience and then you try to put him as a Leader , aren’t you doing injustice to other deserving players ?. What about Abdul Razzaq ?. Why don’t you groom a true All-Rounder instead of a batsman who only knows how to play sweep shot.
The Leaders should never have ego, and if they have ego, the better be the team that performs, and not as the Captain. Younus had a great opportunity to cover up his average batting capabilities and show has a true leader and now, he has wasted it.
