Akhtar praises Younis leadership

Published: March 12, 2009

LAHORE - Pakistan speed star famously known as Rawalpindi Express Shoaib Akhter said on Tuesday Younis Khan is an incredible captain and Pakistan cricket team can win World Cup under his leadership if he displays steadiness in his batting and captaincy.
Akhter while talking on a private television channel, said, "I regret over being dropped from national squad in ODI matches against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka but vow to soon become part of team in series against Australia after demonstrating up to the mark performance in domestic one-day tournament here."
"The confidence his captaincy has given to our players raises hopes that he will turn the best ever captain in the history of Pakistan cricket," Shoaib remarked. "His positive approach would surely help PCB form a competent squad before World Cup 2011."
He said he called the skipper on telephone and was glad to receive confidence Younis gave him, and informed that he was like his elder brother.
I am dying to offer major contributions from my side in the success of Pakistan cricket team, he vowed.
