Sports Desk NEW DELHI - Former Pakistan skipper Wasim Akram said on Saturday that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has committed a big mistake by sacking Shahid Afridi as the ODI captain. Akram said the 36-year-old Misbah-ul-Haq, who replaced Afridi, has no future and he doesnt see him in charge for more than six-to-eight months. It was wrong to sack Afridi, who has recently brought glory to the country against all odds, Akram was quoted as saying. Afridi, who led a rickety Pakistan team to the semi-finals of the World Cup, was sacked after a fall-out with coach Waqar Younis, also a former captain. The two clashed over selection matters during the ongoing series with the West Indies and the cricket Board was certainly not amused. Akram feels PCBs decision lacks logic and it was disrespectful of them to sack Afridi for trivial matters. Arguments between captains and coaches are not new in Pakistan cricket. Afridi was hailed as a national hero after the World Cup, and came back from the West Indies after winning the ODI series only to find out he has been sacked. What is the PCB up to, said Akram. The present Test skipper Misbah-ul-Haq is on the wrong side of 30 and I dont see him leading the side beyond six to eight months, said Akram. Akram, a former Pakistan skipper, said constant re-shuffling of players and captains will not help the team. It is a wrong step taken by PCB, and only (chairman) Ijaz Butt is to be blamed for this, he said. In Pakistan, the coach wants all the power and when it doesnt happen, the fight begins, Akram said. Meanwhile, unfazed by the criticism he is drawing for sacking Shahid Afridi as captain of Pakistans ODI team, PCB chief Ijaz Butt said the decision was taken in the best interest of the side but refused to reveal the exact reasons for it. Afridi was replaced by senior batsman Misbah-ul-Haq for the tour of Ireland. It is the boards right to change the captain and the decision was taken in the best interests of the team. Butt said in response to mounting criticism over his decision to sack Afridi as captain for the two-match series against Ireland later this month. Captains are changed all over the world and no cricket board gives a reason for that, he said.We did what we thought was best and dont need to give a reason for it. He also defended his decision to appoint Misbah saying that lack of options in the squad forced the move. Were looking at everyones performance and discipline and were trying to pinpoint a suitable candidate for the captains position for the future, he explained. Earlier in another interview, Butt said the board was working hard to bring back international cricket to Pakistan. He said one of the main tasks before the board was to arrange a bilateral series with India in December this year. No foreign team has toured Pakistan since March 2009 when militants attacked the Sri Lankan side.
