Instances of players not made captains due to non cricketing reasons

[govinda indian fan]

Players who deserved to be captains but couldn't because of internal team politics or other non cricketing reasons?
My examples- Richardson made captain ahead hayens after viv retired
Ponting preferred instead of gilly and warne
Pakistan choosing idiots like yousuf and afridi ahead of younis

George Headley, Leorie Constantine, Clyde Walcott, Frank Worrell until he was finally made captain.

Among others.

Why did Gilly or Warne deserve to be captains?

The "non cricketing reason" why Warne was never Aus captain was that he was banned for drug use and had dubious dealings with bookies.

Silly me as here I remember it being because World class captains Mark Taylor, Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting were considered to be better choices during Warnes career

Tim Paine was dropped from captaincy for non cricketing reasons. So was Mike Gatting. Hope whatever they did was worth it.

Gatts was probably on borrowed time because of th Shakoor Rana dispute anyway.

Paine was also made captain for non-cricketing reasons. Is that a unique feat?

Did Gilchrist want to be captain? I thought he found it to be too taxing to do it full time along with wicketkeeping/batting?
