PCB has appointed Shahid Afridi as the captain of the Pakistan side to feature in the ICC World T20 this year in the West Indies. Pakistan, who had won the tournament last year by beating Sri Lanka in the final was without a captain after most of their captain-material players were eight banned for an year or more or were fined and hence not in reckoning. Afridi was one of them but the PCB chief, Ejaz Butt seems to have pardoned him for the lapses and appointed him the skipper.

The list also contains the likes of John Wright, Richard Pybus, Michael Bevan and also India representatives like Lalchand Rajput. Rajput had earlier coached the Indian team when Greg Chappell had resigned from the position, and then had gone on to do the same with the Mumbai Indians. The Mumbai Indians incidentally have had two successive unsuccessful seasons as well.
