Inzamam retained as Pakistan captain

Inzamam-ul-Haq has been retained as Pakistan captain for another year following an impressive tenure to date, which includes their recent success in India. The Pakistan board announced the move shortly after their one-day series victory. "He showed good leadership qualities," the Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan told BBC Sport, "therefore we decided to extend his tenure for one year."

Inzamam was originally appointed to lead the side until the end of Pakistan's tour of West Indies which starts in May and comprises two Tests and three one-dayers. But his contract was extended following the drawn Test series against India and the successful one-day series where Pakistan came back from 2-0 down to win 4-2.

Now Inzamam will be at the helm for two home series against England in November and India the following February. The Asia Cup will also come under his leadership. The vice captain Younis Khan will continue in the role of deputy, but his position will be re-evaluated after the tour of West Indies.
