PCB still in two minds over captaincy issue

Published Mon, Mar 15 10 10:27 PM

Karachi, Mar 15 (PTI) PCB continues to play musical chairs on the issue of captaincy as it remains unclear on whether to appoint a single person for all three formats of the game or to opt for separate skippers for Test and limited overs cricket. So far the Chairman of the board, Ejaz Butt has met with Shahid Afridi and Misbah-ul-Haq and indications were that the meeting was related to the captaincy issue for the Twenty20 World Cup from April 30 in the West Indies. But it remains unclear as who will get the captaincy for the World Cup as Ejaz Butt on his part has not helped the situation by making confusing statements about the issue. Two days back, Butt was quoted in the media as saying that the captain would only be appointed for the T20 World Cup and there would be separate captains for the different formats of the game. But in an interview to a cricket website, Butt was quoted as saying that there would be one captain for all three formats of the game. "We will make an announcement regarding who will be the next captain of the Pakistan team in a couple of days." "What I can say is that it will not be more than one person. We will be selecting one captain for all three formats of the game, rather than two or more captains," stated Butt. (More) PTI Corr SHN
