Ijaz Butt leaves for New Zealand amid captaincy conundrum.


"Who will lead Pakistan in World Cup?" is quiz of the time for every cricket maniac living in Pakistan. After making it a conundrum, creepy Ijaz Butt will be in New Zealand, by giving reason that he will unleash the skipper in New Zealand. The most bizarre thing in this news is Ijaz Butt would be staying in New Zealand till the series gets over, now question arises does it take 15 days to name captain, can he not name the captain by being in Pakistan, can he not make decision here and wait for the team to return?

PCB is yet to clear salaries of some players and our chairman is making holiday trips on PCB's money. What benefits do we get from itineraries of Ijaz Butt? Oh yeah! may be Ijaz Butt would add some more mush on his "Butts" by having such eventful trips. When foreign Cricket Boards arent ready to welcome him, what does he do there? I wouldn't be surprised if we get the news later that Butt delayed the selection of captain so that he could tour New Zealand. The whole saga is an absolute example of another mismanagement by disabled fraternity of Pakistan's Cricket.
