Inzamam-ul Haq's tenure as captain will come up for review after the home series against the West Indies, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Nasim Ashraf has said.
Ashraf, who took over from Shaharyar Khan just before the ongoing Champions Trophy, said a decision on who would captain the team for the tour of South Africa and the World Cup would be taken after consulting the selectors and taking into account form and fitness of a player.
"We have named Inzamam-ul Haq as captain for the West Indies series according to an old agreement, but after that series the captaincy would be reviewed," he said in a television interview.
"While it is good to have stability in the team and captaincy, there has to be a balance between stability and reliance," he said.
Inzamam is serving a four-ODI ban for bringing the game into disrepute by causing first-ever forfeiture in the 129-year Test history at the Oval.
On his decision to convince Younis Khan to take back the captaincy for the Champions Trophy in India just a day after he had relinquished it, Ashraf said he kept the team's interest in mind.
"Younis is a naturally gifted leader and he can lift the team on the field. We were already missing Inzamam, who is a pillar of strength in our batting and I didn't want the team in disarray in the tournament.
"I consider Inzamam as a batsman in the same class or perhaps better than Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara, but he has not got the same attention in the media as them," Ashraf said.
