Who will be captain of Pakistan for ICC World Cup 2011? This issue is now about to solve. In this regard the Chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board Ijaz Butt met to the team manager Intakhab Alam in Christ Church, and took advices. After the criticism from former cricketers on him and board, the chairman PCB decided to announce captain for World Cup soon. Probebly it is expected after third ODI match between Pakistan and New Zealand.

Talking to a private news channel team manager confirmed his meeting with PCB chairman and said that in next two, three days the situation will be on the screen. But he didn’t give his personal opinion that who should be captain and said that PCB will take a decision in the larger interest of the country.

According to sources PCB has made Shahid Afridi and Misbah-ul-Haq opponents but they didn’t allow this issue to disturb the mutual relations. Both players spend a lot of time off the field together. The decision of PCB to not announce captain affected the entire team and experts said that board should take decision soon now in order to achieve better results.

Reliable sources said that Chief selector of Pakistan cricket team Mohsin Hussan Khan is in the favor of Misbah-ul-Haq and he voted for him because he thinks that the captaincy of Test series couldn’t pressurize him and his individual progress is becoming better. The coach Waqar Younis is also in the favor to give captaincy of Mega event to Misbah-ul-Haq.

Before this the Presidency has given free hand to Ijaz Butt on the issue of the selection of captain and advised the chairman to use his own authority without gaining any sort of pressure. After getting the favor of some board officals and former cricketers Misbah-
ul-Haq became the strong candidate and it is difficult for Shahid Afridi to play as ODI captain after the series against New Zealand.
