Leading a team at the international level is not an easy ask, and the task of leading the Pakistani team is even more difficult due to the historical and customary politics, ignorance, leg pulling and the lack of professionalism. If captaincy is a pride it also brings heavy responsibility and challenge and Shoaib Malik hasn’t done his best to rise to the expectations. He is young, but is way too languid and lazy to accomplish anything dynamic.

MS Dhoni and company are to tour Pakistan in January-February next year to play three Tests, five One-day Internationals and Twenty20 International, but the things are in limbo due to the security reasons in Pakistan, while PCB is striving hard to convince India to come to Pakistan.

Shashank Manohar, the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), assured PCB that his team will tour Pakistan early next year as per schedule but many in the BCCI are very much against this tour and the government of India is also doesn’t look interested.

Javed Miandad, the best ever batsman Pakistan has had in its history has been given a very important job at the Pakistan Cricket Board of Director General. He will be responsible for looking after the cricket at the international and national level for Pakistan. Intikhab Alam as coach and he at the helm of affairs of PCB is a welcome and refreshing change for the PCB, and one has to commend the chairman PCB Ijaz Butt for that.
