Was it India scare or disgruntle over no offer of vice-captainship – Pakistan scrambles to cover Shoaib’s vacuum
According media sources Shoaib Akhtar refused to play in fear of superb Indian batting performance.
But now new reports are coming out from media:
Tearaway fast bowler Shoaib Akthar may cited his hamstring injury as the reason for not touring India, but if other sources in the Pakistan cricket establishment are to be believed, the "Rawalpindi Express" opted out because he was not given the vice captaincy for the mega series.
According to the sources, the Pakistan Cricket Board had assured Shoaib of the vice captaincy after the conclusion of the Pakistan tour to Australia, but when the offer was not made by the national selection committee, Shoaib cited fitness problems to avoid the India tour, reports Online News. It has been further reported that Shoaib used negative tactics to gain the captaincy of the team by creating a rift among the players during Australian tour and also pressurised some of PCB officials. Shoaib was said to be fit for VB series but his recent statements of suddenly being unfit for Indian tour before the announcement of squad has raised many questions and opened doors of chaos in minds of cricket experts who think that he is fit to represent his country against arch-rivals India.
No matter what Pakistan is busy filling Shoaib’s vacuum!
