As Younis Khan has captained the side before in Inzy's absence, my guess is that it'd be him. The chop-and-change method of selection in Pakistan at the moment means it's hard tolook beyond him, Mohammad Yousef and Kamran Akmal for the captaincy.

It should be Younis Khan he looks to be the first preference.

I would say that Younis Khan or Yusuf look favorites, but with Pakistan you can never tell. Over the next year it wouldnt surprise me if they both have stints as skipper .

Younis Khan without a doubt. He is tough and has 'Captain' written all over him. Mohammed Yousuf might be a great batsman, but does not seem to have the mental strength to cope with the burden of captaincy.

Younis Khan reminds me of Justin Langer he is a battler, not the most talented cricketer but has more mental strength than any other cricketers in the world. If Khan does not get captaincy I will be very surprised. Yousuf is a brilliant batsman but I don't think he is captain material either, with a batsman like Yousuf you just want him to think about batting nothing more. So many good batsmen that become captain are rarely as good with the bat as they were before given the captaincy. There are also players that the captaincy helps and it improves there batting its just up to the individual.


Each test countries last two captains that are batsman and the difference between batting averages before and after being captain. (min 10 tests)

Australia
Ricky Ponting - Career Average 59.29, As Captain 65.68, Not Captain 55.97 - +6.39
Steve Waugh - Career Average 51.06, As Captain 52.30, Not Captain 50.44 - +1.24

Out of 16 captains 8 have improved there averages and 8 have lowered there averages, the highest improvement was Ponting and the biggest drop was Rahul Dravid.

Pakistan currently after all whats happened need a captain in the Imran mold and im not sure they have anyone of thar calibure. Younis Khan seems to be the nearest thing and someone like Javed Miandad needs to come back as coach during this difficult time. Im an England fan but its so sad for Cricket to see whats happened to Bob Woolmer and the fact that 2 of the most talent teams in Pakistan and India have gone out already. In my mind theres little to stop Australia with the lose of these 2 teams

I agree,it should be Younis Khan or Mohammed Yousuf.But it's most likely going to be Younis Khan.
