Who will captain Lahore Qalandars if they reach the final and Brendon McCullum declines Lahore trip?

[waleed88]

Surely Azhar Ali can't captain the side, he wouldn't have played the entire tournament, so it would be ridiculous for him to just to captain in the final..

That only leaves Lahore with one option

Our very own Lahori munda... Umar Akmal

He's experienced!! Over 8 years of International cricket, he's talented, he's aggressive.. surely Akmal is the perfect vice captain to Baz.. both play in a similar way... their captaincy should be similar too

Would Lahori's like to see Akmal as captain? Or would they settle for someone like Azhar who will lead Lahore with his defensive captaincy...

I would go definitely go for the former...

Surely it must be worth a ticket to the final.. seeing Umar bhai captain for the first time

 

[Asif321]

Azhar Ali

 

[Madplayer]

Believe it or not if this happens, sohail tanvir will be made captain.

 

[waleed88]

Believe it or not if this happens, sohail tanvir will be made captain.

is that worse or better?

 

[Madplayer]

is that worse or better?

Cant decide really

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

First reach the finals lahorion... then talk about the captain....

 

[waleed88]

It could be a possibility, they have extra incentive.. a home side in the final would be a crowd puller

 

[Madplayer]

Are you saying they will make Lahore reach finals by any unfair means?

 

[waleed88]

Are you saying they will make Lahore reach finals by any unfair means?

No I'm not saying that... Please don't put allegations on me I didn't say that... A Lahore final without Lahore seems almost unthinkable to me...

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Umar should be captain

 

[Madplayer]

No I'm not saying that... Please don't put allegations on me I didn't say that... A Lahore final without Lahore seems almost unthinkable to me...

i'm sorry. I misunderstood.

 

[Hawkeye]

Umar is the most natural option.

Aggressive, talented.

 

[Moiza]

The stadium is going to be full with or without Lahore

 

[Hasan Cheema]

"A Lahore final without Lahore seems almost unthinkable to me... "

house will be full with or with Lahore, Even Quetta v Karachi will pull house full

 

[dauntless]

Umar should be the captain he has captained in domestic matches before! No azhar Ali please!

 

[Amirforpresident]

What does being agressive and talented have to do with being a good captain.

 

[waleed88]

"A Lahore final without Lahore seems almost unthinkable to me... "

house will be full with or with Lahore, Even Quetta v Karachi will pull house full

I disagree, that might not be the case... if only local players are figuring, with some names from Zimbabwe Srilanka, that won't be much of a crowd pull...

 

[waleed88]

On topic Umar Akmal, born and raised in Lahore, seems the most likely contender for captaincy..

 

[waleed88]

What does being agressive and talented have to do with being a good captain.

Maybe he idolizes Mccullum... maybe that will reflect in his captaincy too

 

[Abdullah]

will be sohail tanvir guys. though i would give it to umar just to see how he goes

 

[Amirforpresident]

Maybe he idolizes Mccullum... maybe that will reflect in his captaincy too

Well tbh Umar is the last guy I would want to captain the Qalandars. I would rather have Elliot or even Narine OR Rizwan captain the side.

 

[roshanrocks]

we need similar thread for each PSL team

 

[waleed88]

we need similar thread for each PSL team

For Karachi it will be Malik, Peshawar has Afridi..

ISLU and Quetta have local captains

 

[badsha001]

No, Sammy will come to Pakistan if Peshawar qualify for Final, Sarfraz and Misbah will be OK I guess and Karachi will give it to either Imad Wasim or Babar Azam...

 

[waleed88]

Why no Malik?

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Why no Malik?

Because Malik has publicly made clear that he is not interested in captaining either a domestic or the international side.... They'll most probably give it to Bopara, Babar or Imad !!

Makes sense

I guess you did not followed LO series against Zimbabwe at Lahore

 

[waleed88]

I guess you did not followed LO series against Zimbabwe at Lahore

That was International cricket..

However if the teams are almost similar to Faysal bank t20 tournaments.. then no one would want to watch those matches

Which is why I think it is crucial for Lahore to reach the final.. and have some star power in both teams too

 

[gkb101277867]

When is the confirmation about which players are willing to come to lahore? I thought it was today?

 

[roshanrocks]

For Karachi it will be Malik, Peshawar has Afridi..

ISLU and Quetta have local captains

No, Sammy will come to Pakistan if Peshawar qualify for Final, Sarfraz and Misbah will be OK I guess and Karachi will give it to either Imad Wasim or Babar Azam...

You guys are right...

 

[Syed1]

System is rigged in Lahore's favour

Aggressive, talented.

Afridi was supposedly aggressive and talented.

Captaincy Afridi?

Shall you do the honors or should I?

 

[Chief Destroyer]

T20 GOAT aka The Windmill.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

^ why? So he can promote himself to 4?

Hey Waleed, All tickets sold out in first few hours, Told you it will be house full with or without Lahore

 

[waleed88]

True I was wrong about the final taking place in Lahore... Lahoris proved to be zinda dil as ever

 

[Big Mac]

Just like Afridi was an aggressive captain eh?

 

[Major]

which is why they didnt qualify for the finals )

 

[waleed88]

Just like Afridi was an aggressive captain eh?

Afridi is not agressive at all to be honest

 

[Big Mac]

Afridi is not agressive at all to be honest

Heard the same rubbish before, Afridi's batting is "attacking", "aggressive" therefore his captaincy will be the same. He shows lots of energy in the field so he will be "pro-active" unlike the likes of Inzi. Just because someone bats like a fool doesn't make them aggressive captains, just like someone who bats slowly or stands around silently in the field doesn't qualify as a defensive one.
