I personally feel that Shoaib Akhtar performance in all recent matches is not in any standard for T20 or One day formate of game. I feels that Shoaid Akhtar is becoming a liability for Pakistan Cricket. I understand that Pakistan cricket has spent lot for him but at the same time we need to see the Pakistan cricket as whole and see how we could bring the same excitement in viewer as we used to have when Wasim Akram and Waqar were playing.
We should look toward new blood and give them a chance.

Younas bhai, if you are only going to pick the fittest players, does that mean Akhtar is out? I hope so, he is a spent force. Secondly, focus and concentration are important for batting success. There is too much commaradry and jocularity with opposing players from our batsmen. While it is important to keep a polite and sportsmanlike demeanor, our batsmen need to show determination and focus. Opposition, especially the Aussis, do their best to rattle batsmen. I hope our players go to the wicket with, “we are going to pummel you” attitude and demeanor.

Absolutely! If a player is not fit enough to play the entire match before the start then he can sit in the dressing room because I will only pick players who are fit enough to give their 100 per cent.
I wasn’t feeling fit before the Twenty20 match so I sat out because I didn’t want to go on the field and not perform to the best of my abilities.

If a player is not fit enough to last 50 overs on the field, will you keep him out of the team? How important is fitness for you as a captain?

I believe in aggressive style of play and I would definitely like my team to play with confidence. Winning and losing is a part of the game and if you play confidently and aggressively but end up losing, I have no complaints.

Do you think it is more important to play aggressively and confidently or getting a result is more important?

here is no permanent place for any player in the team if he doesn’t perform well. Even I don’t feel that my place is secure, despite being the captain. However, for players who have been your star performers in the while, you have to give them a chance if they are going through a bad patch. If you look at Shaid Afridi of a few years back, and the Shahid Afridi of new, there is a marked difference. That is because we stuck with him even when he was not performing at his peak and look at how it is paying back now.

Do you believe that senior players who have not been performing well feel threatened that they will lose their place or does seniority mean automatic selection?
