Which appears to be exactly what he has done and probably ended his chances of taking over from Inzamam as the next captain when Inzi retires.

It is a shame that politics have once more messed up Pakistan's preparations for a tournament as i thought they had a real chance of winning but after this i can see a return to the bad old days of underachievement.

I hope for Pakistan's sake that Inzi can recover team unity for the world cup.
