Karachi: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will announce the squads for next month's Asia Cup and the tour of England on May 22 and opener Salman Butt is likely to get the Test captaincy. Sources said acting on the advice of former coaches Intikhab Alam and Aaqib Javed, the PCB has ruled out the selection of banned seniors like Mohammad Yousuf, Younus Khan and Shoaib Malik. “This is the suggestion that Aaqib gave to the enquiry committee of the board during the hearings in February and March and he had told them to appoint a compromise candidate for the Tests in England against Australia and England,” a source said. “With Afridi still not inclined to play Tests and the selectors also not too keen to try him out, it appears Salman Butt who has been in good form in recent matches might get the captaincy for the Tests in England while Afridi would be retained as one-day captain for the Asia Cup,” the source said. The PCB appears in no mood to forgive the three senior players. — PTI
