Former Pakistan captain and legendary left arm fast bowler Wasim Akram is happy with Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) decision to retain Boom Boom Afridi as skipper of Pakistan one day team.
Wasim was of the belief that change of captain just before the world cup could have been not less than a disaster for a team like Pakistan which is already dealing with number of controversies.
“Afridi is the good choice to lead Pakistan in the mega event but he needs to improve his batting. I have faith on his abilities and I wish him best of luck,” Akram said.
“I heard that lack of match fitness was the reason behind Yousuf’s exclusion from the squad. Misbah has performed really well in the last couple of months after taking over the captaincy of Pakistan test team and I hope that he will carry this momentum into the one day internationals as Pakistan need someone like Misbah in the middle order,” he added.
