Younis Khan as skipper? I don't doubt his fighting skills, but a rewind to a few moths back and this guy wasn't even in the team. and now we're talking about making him the captain, hmm...dangerous I would think. One of the most important requirments of captaincy one must think is the canditade must be first and foremost a settled player of the team, whose place in the side is as good as confirmed.

Can we be sure that Younis Khan will be in the side come 2007? Can we be sure Younis Khan will be able to earn as much respect from his team mates as does Youhanna or Inzi? Can we be sure he will do any better a job then either of these two? Can we really be sure of anything at this stage? I would think no. Any move would be a gamble. A risk. I understand Inzi is not the ideal skipper we wanna have with a side like ours, but I'm afraid the alternatives aren't very convincing either.
