Looking at this Pakistan side I don't see many players who naturally gravitate towards leadership but there a few who can be molded for it when Sarfraz eventually steps down.

:fz: Seems to be regarded as a good tactician and I have a feeling that he will bring a certain boldness and fearlessness to the captaincy just as he does with his batting. He needs to establish himself in the Test team though.

:imad : Biggest problem is obviously the fact that he can't nail down a place in the team, let alone the test team and has done very little to prove that he isn't a bits and pieces player. If he establishes himself though, he could be a terrific captain imo.

:babar : This is a long-shot obviously depending primarily on how his career pans out in the next 7-10 years. If he manages to establish himself as a gun batsman though, he should be groomed for captaincy.


One recurring problem for Pakistan has been the failure to identify potential leaders in the side and groom them like other teams do years in advance. I don't think we even have a proper vice-captain in ODIs and T20s atm and Shafiq is only VC in tests because he is one of the most experienced players in the side. If the board and management are truly interested in changing the culture and outlook of Pakistan cricket, they need to start focusing on identifying potential leaders and working on them.
 
Most exciting thing about Fakhar is his temperament and attitude; he's down-to-earth, a calm presence and knows how to handle pressure. With these virtues I'm confident he can make it in test cricket and these virtues also automatically clear the prerequisites for captaincy. Excited to see how he does in the upcoming years.

Shadab Khan in good time too I think
 
There's a strong chance that it will be between Fakhar or Babar and personally I would give it to Fakhar as he has exactly what your looking for in a captain.
 
Fakhar or Hasan.

Babar doesn't seem to possess any leadership skills.
 
Its fairly obvious that Fakhar zamaan should be the next captain.

His on field tactics and player selection policies in domestic tournaments were incredibly good. Consistently gave chances to youngsters and promoted young batsmen up the order. Most importantly he was able to keep nepotism far away from the team somehow.
 
We can find answer if we see how our captains in previous decade perfomed:

1) Inzamam : Consistent performer with almost zero leadership qualities. Tactically not good
2) Younis : Not so consistent performer in ODIs, but tremendous leadership qualities and highly temperamental.
3) Malik : Inconsistent performer, immature during his captaincy time.
4) Afridi : Once in a blue moon performer, highly reactive. Leaks news to media, backed by media
5) Misbah : Highly consistent performer. Captain not leader. Tactically poor.
6) Azhar : Consistent performer. Could not motivate team. No leadership qualities.
7) Sarfaraz : Inconsistent performer. Shrewd task master.

Going with the consistent performer like Fakhar would put pressure on him. Fakhar could be a good choice, but we need someone who is focussed on opening batting in an already struggling batting line up.

Babar & Shadab are too young, they will have their time in 5/10/15 years.

I would go with Imad. He looked good at PSL, is captaining from U-19 days.He knows how to tackle criticism as well, does not react quickly, unlike shahid Afridi.

Captain should be someone who has leadership qualities, not always a consistent performer. Sarfaraz might not be performing to the best of his abilities, but still he knows how to get the team going as he had leadership qualities.

Same can be said about Ganguly, he had his limitations in batting, was lot less consistent than Dravid,Sachin, Laxman, Shwag etc. But had tremendous leadership qualities.
 
Fakhar Zaman would be my next choice and we should groom shadab as well.
 
Fakhar Zaman. He has prior experience of successfully captaining at domestic level including the Pakistan Cup and is 28 years old so has the required "seniority" that PCB will want.

He seems a mentally tough chap so hopefully he can handle the added responsibility.

I also feel Imad Wasim is the best option as future captain and I agree that very few players are are a Kohli or a Ponting who are able to lead by example. But.....in order for that to happen Imad really needs to start justifying and nailing his position down in the team. He doesn't even have to be the best all-rounder in the world but he should atleast as an undroppable player. At the moment, he's competing with Faheem for that second-all-rounder slot.

Fakhar would be a good choice but why would we put our best loi player under more pressure with the burden of captiancy when he already has so much work to do with the weak support around him in batting. I know how he feels as I was the leading runscorer in our premier division last year and this year was made captain and so have so many things running in my mind, that I feel like going the Sachin route
 
There are various qualities required to be a pakistan captain apart from performance:

1) relationship with coach/Pcb etc
2) resilient to daily criticism about team and his own performance
3) good relations with team members
4) turning deaf ears to our media/ex cricketers
5) No approach to media to make his case strong

This job is simply not suitable for someone who does not have leadership qualities. We have seen it with Azhar. He just broke down. And here we are talking about someone on which we are highly dependent such as Fakhar.

Someone with the attitude like "IM NOT PERFORMING SO WHAT, BUT TEAM IS WINNING" can handle and lead the team.

He is competing with Nawaz at the moment. He was injured and unfit. Once he gets back to the team, he can get back his rhythm.

Series with Aus/NZ/SA/England can pave way for him to make a comeback
 
Fakhar has shown everything. He led Baluchistan to the finals of pentangular cup and Sahibzada Farhan grew under his captaincy. He wants his team to win and that is his priority. In next 4 to 5 years he will be more experienced and Sarfaraz might be near to his retirement. If Sarfaraz retires than at that time Fakhar will be around 32, 33 which is good age as a leader.

He should be made vice captain immediately of the T20s and ODIs.

Shadab has some real potential but thats far down the line. Not happening in next 5 years most probably.

Imad has also shown some good leadership skills he was the captain of Pentangular cup winning Federal team and was impressive in PSL as well. However he and Fakhar are of same age so it would be difficult for him.

Valid point but some players become better under pressure. It would be upto Fakhar to explain the way he feels.
 
Fakhar has the character and ability to handle pressure to succeed.

No one is born knowing how to captain so he will become better with experience. Obviously, tactical nuances are important but they should not be the main priority when selecting a captaincy candidate. The candidate should be selected for what the team scenario demands. The current team is younger than any we have had since the early 00’s. Therefore, a middle-aged player like FZ is perfect to balance the mindset of the team.

I would make FZ captain until he retires and groom Shadab to lead the team when he is 25-28. The trio of Hasan, Fakhar, Shadab are already “jiggri dost” so there will not be an issue of back-biting and politics that have haunted Pakistan cricket for the last two decades.
 
I AGREE with most here. Fakhar is a fearless and selfless guy and would bethe ideal candidate.. He has a lot of the same qualities that Sarfaraz has displayed so far in terms of fearlessness and confidence. I think he will be the likely successor to Sarfaraz, given he keeps up his form and keeps his place in the team.
 
Fakhar is a hit or miss player and you guys want him as captain....?

I would trust more the judgement of Babar who has been instrumental in reviving the team.

He's the horse for the long race. Not some hit or miss player.
 
It’s not whether he is hit or miss.. it’s his other qualities.. in Pakistani team most batsmen are hit and miss anyways.. only one or two are consistent.. I would much rather have someone who is fearless and can lead the team in a positive manner..

Anyhow I think it’s too early right now to be talking about it anyways.. Fakhar May find himself out of favor after a few failures.. who knows
 
The age gap between Fakhar and Sarfaraz isn't too much. It has to be Shadab in the long run. By the time Sarfaraz retires, Shadab will be in his mid to late 20s, which will be the perfect time to hand over the captaincy to him.
 
Would love Shadab to take over as captain 1 day. Fakhar is a good candidate but by the time Sarfraz is finished he might be coming towards the end his career.
 
People here have very good insights, but seeing what happened with Azhar Ali experiment.
I would go with someone who has lead the team from U-19 days, he may not be the best player, but utilizing players, handling them well is also important

[MENTION=142466]iniqbal223[/MENTION] Check your PM.
 
Shadab Khan is a natural leader, a confident guy, someone who understands the game pretty well at his age.

Only thing lacking is experience. Had he been 2/3 years older he would have been the VC.
 
I think it will be Shadab Khan. He is young and he is an automatic pick in all 3 formats.
 
Again I will stress one point, not every one is Ponting/Kohli. We are seeing what happened to Root , Williamson. They were all very consistent players before being made captain, now they both are struggling to even score consistently let alone inspiring the team.

Generally, captaincy is all boils down to the personality of the player. A humble player generally in our culture do not have that much command over the team. Also, there is a possibility of finding another Misbah/Azhar in FZ (both are humble , gentlemanly, and could be short of ideas). People might argue FZ is breaveheart, so was Misbah when he arrived in 2007. But as soon he became captain, he became so contemplative, and that reflected in the team.

We want someone who has that boorish attitude, who can fight for his own players. Rather than sit back and clap for fair play.

And if that is the case, I see no one other than Imad Wasim. True, he does not guarantee a place in the team, so did Younis Khan in 2004, when he was suddenly made vice captain. Also, captaincy is not something which a kid is born with, but is a very long learning process, where individuals are nurtered to become better leader, and to pull the strings when chips are down, and not react when their own performances are not upto the mark.
 
Babar is the most natural option. Specialist batsman who will have the longest career of all the young players in the team.

His body language is negative at times, but we have seen many good captains who do not show a lot of emotion and intensity on the field.

The likes of Smith and Williamson are/were tactically strong on the pitch, but they are not the most vocal of characters.

Babar will definitely lead Pakistan at some point in some format.
 
Candidates for Pakistan’s Test captaincy

If Sarfaraz resigns or is stripped off the captaincy, who do you think can be a better replacement?
Some options I can think of: Shan Masood, Mohammad Amir, Imam-ul-Haq, Asad Shafiq
 
No matter how much we hate or ignore the fact but Azhar is the most suitable option for captaincy if Sarfaraz resigns. Babar being the potentially best batsman in our side have a strong case for captaincy but he is too meek & raw right now. Can't even think of anyone else, Shafiq has declined drastically, Imam/Fakhar/Haris/Masood are still new in test arena.
 
According to some sources, at the end of this series Sarfaraz is going to be replaced by Babar Azam as Captain for Test Cricket.
 
Babar Azam should be made captain...he reminds me of Graeme Smith.
 
I think they need an interim captain. Unfortunately very few members in this team can claim a regular spot. Babar Azam seems right, but really it’s a punt as we don’t know about how long term form. Would have been nice to have babar play a little longer before making this call
 
I hope Babar Azam is not made captain.He just doesn't seem to be captaincy material.He is not groomed enough or authoritative enough.More importantly it might affect his game negatively.And he is our best batsman so we can not afford that absolutely.

But unfortunately we do not have anybody else.Absolute dead-end.How woeful that the retired seniors have left nobody as their legacy and not one person has been groomed by the management.Hopeless stuff.
 
If Greame Smith can become captain at 22 why not Babar Azam at 24.

Yeah unfortunately he is the only guy who is a default selection in all the formats.

Different cultures.

Babar being young wont be allowed to scould any senior players, which captains must do if they are not performing or giving it 100%. The pressure and the politics of being Paksitani captain could really set his own batting back.

I'd go with Azhar Ali for tests. Get a new keeper in and let Sarfraz improve his batting for the World Cup.

Luckily we dont have any senior players other than Azhar and so called senior Asad. Dont think Yasir or Amir will have any issue regarding who is the captain.
 
I was (still am) hoping that Fakhar puts up some good performances so that he can take over as captain being one of the only guys with captaincy experience.

Babar seems like the only batsman with a secure spot and some captaincy experience (U19 level). So he's there. Doesn't inspire a lot of confidence with his demeanor but as the best batsman in the team he can at least command some respect.

Azhar Ali can be given a chance but I am starting to think you might as well go with Babar if it comes down to it.

You can do something completely out of the box and go with a bowling captain in Abbas. Would be quite a gamble as he has no captaincy experience but he looks like he has a good head on his shoulders.

Honestly with the options we have I'm tempted to stick with Sarfraz if only he can score a couple of 50s ( heck even 40s would do) in the next 2 matches as part of a meaningful contribution (not when the game is already lost).

I dont think Azhar wants that, he declined it earlier when he was offered test captaincy before Sarfaraz.

Its not just about Sarfaraz performing or not. He has a poor tactician which is evident from the recent results and he let BD of the hook when they were 3/11 and now SA in there first innings when they were 40 odd for 4. He has made multiple blunders in home tests as well.
 
There's no one for test captaincy. None are regular domestic captains that they can take up the mantle without affecting form. Most are too new, or under pressure for their place e.g. Asad. Azhar's the best candidate maybe as an interim, but has already failed as captain. Do people really want to hamper progress of guys like Babar? It's not worth it to them, especially given Babar's least established format is tests.

There's a few choices in LOI who could do it, Imad, Babar would be less of a risk than in tests, Malik, Fakhar potentially, Hafeez if he plays. Though not sure we should change captain in LOIs, I'd give Sarfraz at least up to the world cup. But in tests, stark contrast.

If Azhar doesn't want it, we have to give it to Asad. And while this feels like a rubbish decision and Asad doesn't deserve it, I'd rather give it to a player who it won't stop the development of his game. And at this point I'd rather Asad have it than Sarfraz. If Asad is dropped (which I don't realistically see happening anytime soon), then we could give it to a player with domestic captaincy experience e.g. Fawad. But this might be at the expense of playing Saad for example though at this point probably worth having someone in who knows how to captain.

I don't believe Babar has any prior experience captaining even at youth. I could be wrong. But that's a very rare case and times have changed.

We're actually in the situation where no one wants captaincy which is funny as we had so many seniors fight over it in the past. People suggesting young guys like Shan or Imam but I doubt those guys want to be anywhere near captaincy, they've got enough to focus on in cementing their place in the side.

Part of the whole point making Sarfraz captain in all formats is that given his domestic/U19 experience captaining, hopefully captaining wouldn't affect his game. Which it may not or may have had an affect, but he's certainly been in terrible batting form ever since he became captain and in tests even before that. We can't afford someone like Babar to stop performing due to attention on captaincy, it's not worth the risk. And Babar would have to concentrate on it far more than Sarfraz as he's learning it from scratch.

Smith was the exception, not the rule. Not only was he a natural leader with a fearsome character, he also had an imposing frame to back himself up. Babar is inexperienced and childlike in stature. He will wilt in the dressing room if you thrust captaincy on him too soon.
 
I posted this in pre match discussion thread.

Our best bet still is Amir.
PCB and CS are always occupied by things other than PCT.

But first test has given ul'haq more than enough to defend his squad. At PCB, Senior players are kept in side to protect selectors. At the end of day you can blame senior players, overlooking the selectors who made mistake in first place.

Amir is still our best bet for a Captain.

Pakistan is no India,Australia or England where your Captain is mostly a batsman.

PCT culture and history doesn't fit in with a batting Captain. Examples are Raja, Saleem Malik, Inzamam, Younas, Butt, Malik, Azhar among many others. Everyone relied on instincts rather than a method, except Azhar Ali who had a test-format method which he tried in ODIs.

I know bowlers as captain is not an SOP in other countries, but PCT culture will always need a Bowling Captain. Imran, Wasim, Waqar were way better than others (Batsmen) as captains. They usually come with a method and insight.

Replacing Sarfaraz by Asad, Azhar, Babar etc won't change cricket brand of PCT. Pakistan needs a Fast Bowling Captain.
Click to expand...

What Pakistan cricket doesn't need is a batting Captain.
If Babar/Azhar are next in line, then better if Sarfaraz continue as Captain. Favourite choice seems to be Azhar Ali, but that won't change anything.
Playing in UAE has minimized the probability of a Bowling Captain.

If not Amir, appoint Abbas for Tests.

Big resounding NO for Babar/Shan/Azhar.
 
Babar. You have to give it somebody who can make the side on merit. He can’t do worse than Sarfraz and if whilst it might be too much pressure, surely if he is good enough he will continue to score runs.
 
Pakistan Cricket is devoid of leaders, tough characters, and elite batting talent. It didn’t help that Shahid Afridi, Misbah ul Haq, Waqar Younis, Mickey Arthur, and Sarfaraz Ahmed have all been very defensive.

Babar could be a captain, but he’s yet to fully develop his game at Test and T20 Level. If Pakistan had performing batting talent there’s an argument to be made about his place in the team.
 
Firstly we need 4 good test batsmen maybe one of them can be caption too from the current crop no one qualifies ,maybe Hassan Ali as we need a passionate fighter as Kaptaan
 
Babar Azam is too weak to lead the side. I would genuinely love to see Shan Masood as captain of test side but he will struggle to keep himself in the side due to his poor batting. If he can perform well for the rest of this series I would consider making him captain of the test team.
As far as LOIs go I would appoint Imad Wasim as captain. He is a proper leader and did well with Karachi.
 
Fakhar Zaman has the necessary seniority in our culture that fetishes seniority unlike any other.

Junior captains sadly have never worked out for Pakistan.

Fakhar has prior domestic captaincy experience but hasn't yet sealed his place in the Test team.
 
in mu opinion, atm Fakhar Zaman is the only captaincy material in the team
 
Not sure why Shadab’s name keeps getting brought up. Not in a hundred years will he become captain considering he is barely making the team on merit. A poor poor mans Yasir at best and no not an “all-rounder” by any means.

Babar is the natural choice with some merit should be given to Fakhar yet but he is far from established in the test team.
 
Fakhar if not yasir Shah. We need to grom Rizwan into a top tier wicketkeeping batsmen. We need to be able to BAT from 1 til 7 like the aussies of yesteryear. Hasan Ali has shown he can bat too at 8 maybe.
 
Babar Azam will captain Pakistan in all 3 formats eventually. You can cry about him not being fit for captaincy but that isn't stopped PCB making such decisions before.

Any stats on how he performs with bat as captain compared to otherwise? His FC record as an opener is the best in the country, so I dont buy the argument that he is being shoe horned into the wrong format in Tests, but it would have to be acknowledged that he has barely established himself in the Test side yet.
 
Babar Azam would be a repeat of the Shoaib Malik saga.

The guy is still trying to be consistent in Tests and has not shown any character or leadership skills.

Why force it on someone like that and lose some stability in the batting arena? I am a fan of Babar and do not want him to lose his batting touch.
 
Babar will probably be captain down the road. I don’t understand bashing him right now about it. It’s clear to anyone that he isn’t ready for it but the kid is 24. Maybe in 4-5 years he matures into the leader Pakistan needs. No need to keep bashing a guy who is still learning and early stages of his career. I haven’t seen him go out and campaign for the job and yet people react like he is already the captain.

As for immediate need, it has become abundantly clear since the Ausie series that Sarfaraz is not the guy for Tests. He has had an extended run too and hasn’t shown anything. Honestly, PCB isn’t gonna make the move. It Mickey only has a contract until next summer he should use his influence and make a bold change before the next test and install a new test captain. He’s around this team constantly he knows who can best carry this team. The rest of us aren’t around the team changing room to have an informed opinion.
 
Babar would be my choice. At least he scores some runs and has not been given a chance to lead the side. I always prefer a batsman to be skipper.

Babar is the only choice as I see it. The only thing that worries me about him is he looks immature. I dont know him personally though so not sure if that is true.
 
There used to be a time when Pakistan had 7 or 8 players in the Test team capable of being captain, nowadays the cupboard looks bare.

You have to start from somewhere. Better to start young then grow in to the role.

Pakistan cricket has a history of being in the news for wrong reasons. At least with Sarfaraz the team is behind him and the boys listen to him...

Captaincy is a massive responsibility. Thinking about it again I would rather give it to Azhar Ali in tests (Babar can be VC).
 
id give it to azhar Hopefully in 2-3 years time someone like masood can make the position his own and be made captain as he seems to have the skills necessary if only he can sort his batting issues out
 
Shan Masood. Will be a brilliant person to represent our team
 
Babar, Fakhar, Shadab...

Hilarious names being presented. It’s about time this format and leadership is returned back to the educated elite of players. We need a captain/leader. Shan will do a great job
