The Truth

Here is what Inzamam-ul-Haq has to say about the omission of Shoaib Akhtar from the Pakistan squad for the Caribbean tour - what I tend to believe is truth. And that makes me so happy. Not only has Inzamam developed confidence as a leader to make, or at least influence decisions such as leaving his "spearhead" out of the side and Bob Woolmer given full power to handle the players according to his own rational judgement, but the skipper is also now courageous enough to speak his mind in the press. This is the sign of a well-functioning establishment that has the best interests of the team at heart.

I am sure Pakistan will benefit greatly from the abscence of Shoaib Akhtar as they did on the tour to India.
