Another 'thing' a captain needs is the respect of the team members and also confidence and backing of the selectors-the former being most important. Where does Afridi fit in that context?

the problem with all of you is that you are focusing on his Batting. I've made it very clear in the article that his batting is something that we have to let go of. It's the other areas where you need to focus on. He is not dumb when it comes to balling and fielding. He's sharp. Aggressive. And will bring tenacity to the side under him.

I think Afridi is one of the dumbest cricketers I have ever seen. And you see him as your future.

#3 kaptain ji, I am talking about just Afridi, not the whole Pathan community.
Jaeffery Boycott is a big fan of Afridi and he often says that Afridi can hit any ball out of ground, but when it comes to brains, he does not have any!

Re: # 2,3

Pathans are the most crispiest of brains we have around, Gen Ayyub Khan, Imran Khan to say the least.

No doubt Afridi is the best option available. Per Naseem Ashraf fayr Paapar vaichay ga..?? Bulaao us bichaaray ko waapis..
Kitni mehnat sey usnay PCB ko zillat k maqaam per pohonchaaya hai..sub paani phir gaya..
