Karachi: Confusion reigned supreme in Pakistan cricket once again after the drubbing the national team received at the hands of England in the ongoing one-day series that ends today.


The Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Shaharyar Khan apparently is also confused over whether to change the captain of the national one-day team ahead of the series against the West Indies in the UAE or not.


In an interview to the daily ‘Jang’ newspaper, Khan who is in London these days on a private visit, confirmed that the board was contemplating appointing a new captain in place of Azhar Ali before the West Indies series.

“Yes we are thinking about it and we will sit down and discuss it before the team is announced for the West Indies series,” Khan said.

But two days later he was quoted on a cricket website as saying that the PCB would give Azhar Ali more time to prove himself as a worthy captain.

Injured Irfan ruled out
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s tall left-arm fast bowler, Muhammad Irfan has been ruled out for the rest of the England tour after bowling just five overs in the fourth one-day international at Leeds.

Pakistan lost the match by four wickets to go 4-0 down in a five-match series.
