Salman Butt’s Amateur Premiership and Negative Impact on National Team’s Performance
Whether it’s any daily sports update or the latest team news more or
less Pakistan’s national cricket team is in the lime light.
It’s really havoc condition for the Pakistan’s National Cricket Team.
Seriously, just when you believe PCB for one time has finished certain
thing right and taken a step ahead by banning the likes of Malik and
Yusuf, they take two steps backward. If factual, this has to be the
lowest likely report ever for Pakistan cricket, especially if somebody
as non professional and amateur as Salman Butt is presented the
captaincy of the national tea.
The confused management of Pakistan Cricket Board wants a leading man
for all three formats which sees very odd. Different teams around the
world have different test and T20 premiers, which effects positively on
the overall performance of their teams. Salman Butt was not suitable for
the recent test series in the English home which later resulted in a
total failure of Pakistani team in the series.
No doubt this young man has made his shown his outstanding performance
in the matches before his test debut matches against Bangladesh.
Similarly he scored well in Under-19 World Cup. But it’s not enough to
prove his captaincy skills. Still he is a learner and shall learn till
he comes to maturity of this sport.
Even, when needed he is capable of showing some unique skills for the
team’s defense. But he can’t be compared with Aamir Soahil or Saeed
Anwar. Ability is what you’re capable of doing, Motivation determines
what you do, and Attitude determines how well you do it, but in this
case all of three elements are missing from the scene.
Salman has called for different critics around Pakistan to keep in mind
the unique circumstances the team is playing under. But on the same time
if can’t bear such pressure then he must leave this position for
someone more capable then him who can lead the team in all odd
circumstances. In latest team news it’s proven that Butt was more
fragile for most the time stay at England and lose the two last matches
comparatively. Batting and bowling order of the team was critically
condemned.
Still the PCB chairman and overall cricket management is not willing to
remove the current team captain which is really alarming fort eh future
of cricket in Pakistan. No doubt there is not sign of any improvement
from their side but still fans are hopeful that maybe one day they will
witness some drastic change in the management and overall performance of
the cricket team.
Crick fans in and around Pakistan would be happier if they got Daily
sports update regarding some betterment in the team and its performance
rather than irrespective and non professional attitude of the team
fellows and the captain. Rather than being so selfish, he should think
about the feelings and emotions of the millions of cricket lovers and
leave the captaincy as soon as possible for the betterment of the whole
team.
