The destiny of Shahid Afridi as Pakistan's one-day captain will be determined on Wednesday when the PCB chairman Ijaz Butt meets with chief selector Mohsin Khan in Lahore. Source in the board told PTI that Butt has call Mohsin to finalise the change in the Pakistan team for the two one-day internationals next to Ireland later this month.
"Initially it was consideration that the same team that is playing the Tests in the West Indies be supposed to also be retaining for the two one-dayers. But after Pakistan lost the first Test to the West Indies, the board chairman now needs the selectors to send some expert one-day players for the Ireland matches as he is not keen on considering more defeat," the source said.
The source thought while it was determined that there would be changes in the squad for the one-day series, a final choice on the captaincy will be in use on Wednesday. At present, Afridi lead the team in T20s and ODIs, while Misbah-ul-Haq is the Test captain.
The PCB had issue a show cause notice to Afridi last week. The notice required a clarification for making his view public concerning his difference with chief coach Waqar Younis on the work of art of the team during the lately finished ODI series in the Caribbean.
Afridi submit his reply to the notice but the PCB did not give particulars of what the colorful all-rounder had affirmed in his response. The basis said that Afridi would find it hard to win back the self-assurance of board chairman Butt.
"The chairman is still not happy with Afridi and it will be determined on Wednesday whether the board retain him as captain and player for the one-day series in Ireland or decide to either ask Misbah to guide the team in Ireland or opt for Mohammad Hafeez," the basis added.
