Selectors should give priority to the youngsters, They need to add youngsters like Hammad azam, nasir jamshed and others for T20 game, Hafiz or Afridi should be the captain for T20 game!
Misbah is good for Test and one day game!

@Waqas Rafiq:
Why Afridi. He holds the world record of maximum failures. Played 335 failed in 300 matches. Still continues to play. Shame on us. Give chance to a new comer and groom him.
