Shahid Afridi has been replaced by Misbah-ul-haq for captaining Paksitan team against Ireland. This decision is one of the worst by PCB chief IJaz Butt. Afridi has been penalised because of his habit of telling truth. MIsbah who
is leading the team in test side is no doubt a good player for test cricket but in ODIs, experts think that he is not capable of taking team to victory. And the match against India in World Cup semi final is a prime example.
Whereas Afridi was the man who took the shattered team in the recently held World Cup and re united the team which beats big team in World Cup and lost in the semi final (in which Misbah-ul-haq was main culprit). Afridi in his captaincy has performed extremely well. Suring the Asia cup he scored two centuries, in the World Cup he was most wicket taker. Against England and South Africa, Pakistan lost the ODI series but not by a big margin as both the teams won 3-2.
It will be good for the team, if PCB chief takes U-turn on this decision.
