if that's true....then it all makes sense! Younis wouldn't mind being captain now that shahryar khan is gone! Or it could be that younis was threatened that if he were to put on that sort of attitude (going against the PCB's wishes), then he'll be taken out of the team....in which case he has no choice but to smile and pretend that he really wants to be the captain!nightprowler10 said:I'm willing to bet that Shahryar Khan was forced out. He probably had problems with Younis being captain as well. Musharraf probably sensed the political BS going on in PCB and forced Khan out. This is where dictatorship comes in handy. Screw democracy!

Younis Khan refuses acting as ad-hoc captain - his future might be in danger

I'll post here what I posted on another forum:
According to different sources, the following is what lead to Younis' outburst:
-Younis went to see Shehryar Khan to try and reinstate a low level employee. The latter was too busy for him and made him wait forever. Younis got PO'd and left.
-PCB selcted Faisal Iqbal when Younis wanted Asim Kamal to make the squad instead. Shehryar never took the captain's opinion.
-Yousuf, Afridi, and Akhtar supposedly were against Younis getting the captaincy for the CT.
With Shehryar gone, that solves two of Younis' problems. You must remember that Younis belongs to a culture where honor is everything.

This is just too ridiculous to fathom. This is like 9th grade, when you don't sit at someone's lunch table because they said mean things about you. The level of immaturity and unprofessionalism astounds me.
I am suprised that anything gets done with attituted like those. It makes ICC look like the paragons of professionalism!

I totally agree, i read somewhere when asif iqbal blamed the PCB for not doing enough to groom the cricketers to know how they should be conducting themselves at such a high level.......toally immature behaviour from the pakistani team!!!!! I sometimes think they forget they are representing a country and are high profile people.silentstriker said:
Why is everyone so surprised? This has been going on forever in Pakistani cricket.
Anyway, Younis seems like a good choice to me - he's by far the toughest cricketer Pakistan has got (compare his performance at Old Trafford this year with the heartless efforts of Yousuf and Inzy) and seemingly has the balls to stand up to the administration.
Good luck to him I say.
BTW, why the hell would anyone care what Afridi's opinion was on the matter? The guy's a fringe dweller at best with the heart, brain and character of a pea

Its also being said that Dr.Naseem Ashraf & Younis Khan are both from Mardan & they conspired to force Shahriyar Khan(who was already under huge criticism for mishandling the Oval Test issue) to resign.Few others say that Shahriyar Khan was forced by President Musharraf to resign & it was not his decision at all.
According to some media reports Inzi's captaincy is also doubtful for the home series against WI & World Cup,after Younis Khan's re-appointment as captain for the Champions Trophy.

Wouldn't that be something? Of course, I can't bowl bat or field. But I have a brilliant cricketing mind, so I can't really lose against anybody.
As long as anybody = all girl's elementry school.

Of course, If I managed to get myself a captainship in India, it would mean I am filthy rich and have bribed everyone in BCCI (which shouldn't be too hard). And if I can do that, I probably have enough to bribe the umpires too. So yea, I would be undefeated.
