pak captaincy: why not umar akmal...?

by straight point

pakistan cricket has a penchant for going round and round in circles... which is well reflected by countless 'for now' retirements from MoYo...

why not make a definite decision which will serve them for the long term even if it appears a bit of out of the box and uncomfortable to some seniors gleefully waiting to aajmaao their hand at captaincy...?

why not give it to umar akmal...?

for one he is the only player who's name is written first in all formats of the game...

although he is only about a season old... he has already acquired a reputation of a senior in the team...

he right now can't be toppled... not going anywhere anytime soon... is actually the most lambi race ka ghoda for pakistan... so why not give him the captaincy...? the kid doesn't know what the word fear means so i don't think he will see captaincy as added pressure... in fact he might just enjoy it...

as for the little things like will he win the match for pakistan anytime soon...?

to that my counter will be... did the so called seniors win... unhone kitne jhande gaad diye...?

give him the job i say...

Your suggestions are really sensible SP, and when in a year or two, umar akmal does become captain, you could always say that you had written about me right now!

then this could become one of your 'premonition' posts! ;)

i hope you were smoking something while you wrote that post....

no objection to his talent... but a captain just does not need to be talented and can stay in the team. He also need maturity.

Umar Akmal is 20 and pure class. But there is a lot more invovled in captaincy then playing good cricket. I guess the PCB is also made up of people who share similar rationale and that is why Pakistan cricket is in such a pathetic place.

hey, I have an idea... why not make Mohd. Aamer the captain. After all our bowling captains have always been more successful.

Why only Umar Akmal? Everyone in Pakistan team deserves to get Captaincy. So they should try Captaincy by rotation. One Captain for every month of a year. The twelfth man can become Captain in December :-)
