Imran Khan wants Afridi as Captain in three format

8 april 2011: Pakistan’s limited overs captain Shahid Afridi should return to Test cricket and lead the national team in all three formats of the sport, former captain Imran Khan said.

Afridi pulled out of a Test series against Australia last year in England after losing the first Test at Lord’s as captain.

Since then he has only captained Pakistan in one-day internationals and T20 matches. Senior batsman Misbah-ul-Haq led Pakistan in their last two-Test series against South Africa and New Zealand.

He also scored 7,381 runs in 233 ODIs, playing his last limited-overs game against archrival India at the 1996 World Cup. His six World Cup appearances is only matched by Sachin Tendulkar, who won the 2011 tournament with India defeating Sri Lanka in the final.

Since his retirement from international cricket, Miandad has coached the national team three times and is presently serving as the PCB director general.Waqar Younis, a former test fast bowler and captain, is the head coach of Pakistan. Another ex-test fast bowler, Aqib Javed, is the bowling consultant.

However, it is Pakistan’s batting which has been struggling in international cricket for more than a year and critics believe the team needs a batting coach.

“I believe that once a batsman is selected for the national team you can’t change his technique,” Miandad said.

“You can only teach him the finer points of the game, like how to handle various bowlers on different pitches.”
