Who will be Pak ODI captain after World Cup?

[Menace2Society]

Misbah on the next captain:

"I've announced my retirement from ODIs and I'm definitely going to play Test cricket for year. Then, let's see. I am enjoying my cricket at the moment," Misbah told ESPNcricinfo. "But it's the time for Pakistan to look forward. If you are going to give captaincy to a youngster, he needs some time to develop a team and develop himself as a captain. I would really appreciate it if the board shows confidence in someone for a long time. That can build stability in your team. It's time to change and put some responsibility on the shoulders of these youngsters."

What are the choices?

Umar Akmal
Shehzad
Haris Sohail
Maqsood
Sarfraz

Umar and Shehzad are too young at the moment. Ideally a captain should be around 26/27.

This means Haris, Maqsood and Sarfraz are a good fit. However all are very inexperienced. They need at least 2 years of consistent performances and have batting avg of 35+. So too premature with this?

Fawad Alam? Experienced head will he get the reigns? I doubt it.

Who will be next captain?

And please please do not suggest Shoaib Malik or kukri

 

[Kabira]

I can't see anyone seriously, most of these players are mediocre and dispensable.

 

[farhan_9909]

Hafeez or Shoaib malik

 

[rockstar08]

taala mar do PCB pe yaar , use that money on schools and Hospitals haha

 

[Kambojaric]

Hafeez is my best bet. If umar gul returns then he might be a choice too. The rest are too young or inexperienced.

 

[Force-India]

Chinese Kohli ko banao kaptaan.

 

[Cheetah786]

And please please do not suggest Shoaib Malik or kukri

Fine no kukri (Chicken) would You settle for @Armstrong. He is the only hope we got.

Hafeez is my best bet. If umar gul returns then he might be a choice too. The rest are too young or inexperienced.

But Misbah has already stated he has asked for someone young. Hafeez is 34, it is doubtful he will even make it to the next world cup.

Gul is finished long time ago, injury prone and an absolute trunder. Wahab Riaz has replaced him.

Fine no kukri (Chicken) would You settle for @Armstrong. He is the only hope we got.

As long he is not related to the Akmal family.

Going to Hafeez would be a step back
For odis Sohaib looks the most likely among the new lot

But Sohaib is unable to string 4-5 good performances together. He comes into slog. How is he most likely?

 

[Jungibaaz]

None of those listed. At best only Hafeez. I don't see another captain like Misbah for at least a few years.

 

[Skull and Bones]

Sarfaraz dhoka nahi dega.

 

[Ryuzaki]

Younus Khan or Malik

Most last likely to be named captain
Yes he faces the same problems of inconsistency but here we don't have many choices....making him the captain also might help his batting
He did help us chase some targets against Srilanka i believe last yr so their is potential in him to handle pressure
Plus i believe like Misbah he has an M.B.A and having an education particularly in management might help him
