koksmayu Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Pakistan vice-captain Younis Khan met Cricket Board Chairman Naseem Ashraf and agreed to take over the captaincy following the team's World Cup debacle, sources said today. The sources in the Board said that Younis met Ashraf Monday night and had a detailed discussion over captaincy and the future vision of the national team. Contrary to reports that Younis was not interested in taking up the captaincy, the sources said he had told Ashraf he would accept the responsibility if offered by the Board. "Younis said he had no problems captaining the side but the Board should keep some things very clear in their mind. Younis made it clear that he was prone to speaking his mind if he felt any player was not giving his 100 per cent or if the team was not responding to the captain," the source said. "He told Ashraf the Board should keep this in mind when appointing him as captain as he would not compromise when it came to the national team's performance," the source disclosed. Ashraf had called the meeting to discuss the short-and long-term future plans for the team. Inzamam-ul-Haq stepped down as captain after Pakistan were shocked by Ireland and eliminated from the World Cup. Inzamam said at a recent press conference that according to him Younis was the automatic choice to become captain since he had been vice-captain for last two years now. But some media reports had suggested that Younis was not interested in the post after having a bad experience in the Champions Trophy in India last year. Link to comment

If thats the case then I am sure he will be successful. When Imran Khan led Pakistan, he never gave a phuk about Selectors or Board.. his team, his people, and they better perform Ganguly to that extent was similar Link to comment
