Pakistan’s Captaincy Predicament: 3 Out of 5 Captains in PSL 2017 are Overseas

At a time when Cricket Circles in Pakistan are Debating whether or not to Transfer Captaincy from Azhar Ali to Sarfraz Ahmed, It's far well worth noting that Captaincy is indeed a Crucial Problem going through the Country of a Right Now.
3 Out of 5 Captains in PSL 2017 are Overseas

This is Obviously Glaring from the Truth that Three out of the Five Franchises in the Approaching 2nd edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) have Overseas Captains this time round.

Peshawar Zalmi, which have already got  Former Pakistan Captains Shahid Afridi and Mohammad Hafeez, may be seen in movement beneath the leadership of West Indies’ All-Rounder Darren Sammy. The 33 Years Old, who led his Caribbean side to Victories in the 2012 and 2016 T20 International Cups, become provided the Captainship for PSL 2017 by Afridi, who had captained Zalmi in the previous season.

Meanwhile, the Forty Two-year-Old Misbah, below whose Captainship Islamabad United received the Inaugural PSL edition closing year, could be seen captaining his side this time as well.

Karachi Kings might be captained with the aid of Sri Lankan Veteran Kumar Sangakkara this time. The 39-year-Old batsman has retired from all formats of global cricket.

Sarfraz Ahmed, like last time, is Captaining Quetta Gladiators this PSL too. Sarfraz is the captain of Pakistan T20 crew and vice-captain of the ODI crew. At 29 years of age, the Wicket keeper-batsman is the youngest captain in PSL 2017.

Azhar Ali, who's struggling to save his ODI Captaincy, has been replaced via New Zealand’s Brendon Mccullum as captain of Lahore Qalandars. The 35-year-old former black caps captain led New Zealand to their first ever International Cup Final in 2015, in which they were ultimately defeated with the aid of Australia. Mccullum announced his retirement from worldwide cricket closing 12 months.

Some of these Five Captains are scheduled for a joint Press Conference on February 6 on the unveiling rite of the PSL 2017 Trophy. It is really worth recalling that every one 5 Captains in closing year’s PSL were Pakistani Players. However, the Karachi Kings Captain at that time, Shoaib Malik, had passed over his Captaincy to England’s Ravi Bopara halfway via the event.
