I would say Younis Khan after Inzamam but after that though who would you choose? Shahid Afridi must be considered as a favourite to lead the younger generation/future of Pakistani cricket? If you can think of anybody else then say who |

Well Younis Khan is the only one coming close because I can't really think of anyone good enough to follow in Inzy's footsteps. Shahid Afridi, no, I don't think so, not quite yet anyways, because he isn't very consistent with the bat and his err...'behaviour' hasn't been something for youngesters to look up to. Younis hasn't impressed me a whole lot as captain while Inzy's out but I guess it comes with age. ------------- |

| I disagree, i think younis has done well when being asked to deputise for Inzy. I recon in about 8 or so year, Shahid Afridi will be more mature and become captain. Younis is a great icon for many youngsters, undoubtably. |

If Younis ever gets a chance to truly captain, without Inzamam in the dressing room calling the shots or overruling him, I think he will be great. He is very sharp, has a very good sense of humor and excellent team spirit and sense of leadership, besides presenting himself intelligently in the international arena. We can't really question his decisions, as most likely they were second-guessed by Inzamam. No question, Inzamam, is a good enough captain- but..I think the time has come for him to hand over the reins! |

I think it will be Mohammad Yousuf. He is responsible enough to take on the job. He showed that when Inzamam isn't there, the Pakistan batting line-up can look up to him to lead them. He hit a double century against England when Inzamam had retired hurt on 35. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

'He is responsible enough to take on the job. He showed that when Inzamam isn't there, the Pakistan batting line-up can look up to him to lead them.'- couldn't you say the same for Younis Khan? also in 5 years time Yousef might not be in the side, due to age, hopefully he will be though. Anybody remember why he lost his role as vice-captain? |

Younis Khan is also a responsible player but in the absence of Inzamam, he hasn't impressed me at all. Remember the first test of the West Indies/Pakistan Test series in May/June of 2005. Inzamam was hurt or something and Younis was made captain for the first test. He performed poorly with the bat and Pakistan didn't win the match either.
Mohammad Yousuf on the other hand, has proven that he can anchor the Pakistan batting line-up in the absence of Inzamam. He scored a double century - in the absence of a hurt Inzamam - against England near the end of 2005. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

In 5 years, can you see Mohammed Yousef still in the side? He would be getting on a bit... Anybody remember why he lost his role as vice-captain? |
Posted By: saadadvanced7

|
Nope! I don't remember why he lost his vice-captaincy.
Anyway, you have a good point that in 5 years time, it will be time for Mohammad Yousuf to face the end of the road...and Younis Khan will still have about 2 or 3 years even after 5 years. Maybe Mohammad Yousuf will be made captain after Inzamam's retirement and then after Mohammad Yousuf's retirement, Younis Khan will be made captain. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

Can't see Mohammad Yousuf being made captain after Inzamam's retirement seeing Younis is vice captain...but you never know in cricket! It better not turn out like a Waqar and Wasim retirement where one followed the other! In this case it could be Inzy and Yousef! |

It will definately be Younis Khan. He's been groomed for the role. If Muhammad Yousuf was going to be captain, he would be already doing it, and his first stint wasnt too successful, or maybe he just doesnt want to. I will cry the day Afridi becomes captain. ------------- Some great cricketing quotes: "It's tough for a natural hooker to give it up." - Ian Chappell "On the outfield, hundreds of small boys are playing with their balls." - Rex Alston, BBC |

Definately, Afridi should not be considered as a captain, he is just not meant to be one. I agree, Younis or Mohammed Yousuf will be captain when Inzamam retires ------------- |

You can never be sure! Afridi may change and become a 'Younis Khan Type' which would be great seeing that Younis is the heart and soul of the Pakistani spirit!

Me too. Mohammad Yousuf performs against well against most countries and is a very responsible player. He has shown that in the absence of Inzamam, he can lead the Pakistan batting attack. I've already talked about this earlier in the thread so I won't go into details. The only problem is that he is 31 and by the time Inzamam retires, Mohammad Yousuf will be 33. Then he won't have a lot of time left. He could still be captain for a maximum 4 years after Inzi's retirement.
Then Younis Khan will be around 33 or 34 when Mohammad Yousuf retires, and then he could take the captaincy. Then Akmal will be around 33 when Younis Khan retires so then he could take the captaincy. I've planned out everything for Pakistan.  ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

Captaincy has got nothing to do with the religion mate. If they are so biased, then Yousaf would never be in the team, u know what? i know Yousaf's family. He belongs to a poor family basically. But just becoz he was on merit, he made his place in the team. And Kaneria too. Its not South Africa of old times. Merit prevails most of the times, though there are occassional instances of favouritism. ------------- "Excellence is something we can reach for; perfection is God's business." |

| Why do u want to talk about the future captain? Just think of the present and when Inzy gets a little older u can start talking about the future. Inzy does a great job for pakistan so try n be happy about him. Anyway, if u had a future captain it should never be shoaib malik, Shahid Afridi or Abdul Razzaq. In my opinion you need more experienced people who are up for the challenge. If i had to choose i think the best would be either younis khan or mohammed yousaf. |

What do you mean 'when Inzi gets a bit older'? He's already 35, and will be retiring in probably around 2-3 years. So, we've got to start thinking right now. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

First I will translate what Krisdy said so everyone can understand it. Krisdy said: Why can't Younis Khan be Imran Khan's cousin? When Imran Khan's wife is 20 years younger than him, then what's wrong with his cousin being 24 years younger than him. That's true but those are 2 completely different relationships that don't affect each other. So, it still doesn't make sense how Younis Khan can be Imran Khan's cousin. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

If Younis can continue his great form with the bat against nearly all countries, and captain the Pakistan side...then he should be captain... but if he's only going to be Bradman against India, then it should be Mohammad Yousuf because he plays pretty well against other countries as well...better than Younis for sure. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

That's exactly what I've been saying. When I see Younis playing against India, I start to think we have an equal of Bradman, but then his performance agaisnt other teams completely screws everything up. Why does he perform so great against India and poor against most other countries??
Yousuf has performed pretty well against most countries, so he deserves to be captain over Younis. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

Actually, I would go with Mohammad Yousuf ahead of all other team members (excluding Inzamam offcourse). Remember the third and final test match of the England vs. Pakistan Test series in 2005. In Inzamam's absence Mohammad Yousuf showed that he can hold the middle order together by scoring a magnificent 223. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |
