5 players who can be Pakistan's captain in One Day Internationals

After the highs of the Test series, Pakistan cricket team were brought down shattering to ground in the following One Day Internationals, where they were smashed 4-1 in the 5-match series.

ODI captain, Azhar Ali has come under a lot of scrutinies after the disastrous performance and there have been clarion calls made to remove him from this post. Many former players have said that it was a mistake appointing the right-hander as the captain in the first place, as his game is not in tune with the modern One Day Cricket.

While Sarfraz Ahmed will assume mantle in the Twenty20 series, we take a look at 5 players who can be the next ODI captain for Pakistan.

#1 Imad Wasim

The all-rounder was one of the finds for Pakistan this series, both with the bat and ball. He came into bat in the lower middle order and scored two defiant half-centuries for his team, which provided a late kick to the innings. He was not shy to express himself both with the bat and then with words.

Also, he was more than handy with the ball with his tweakers and kept it very tight through the middle overs. He displayed the temperament needed to be successful at the international and the selectors could rope him as the skipper and then give him a long rope to express himself.

The 27-year old has already been skipper of Pakistan U-19 team in 2008 and thus has the experience to lead a side. A certain bright prospect going forward.
