Captain to be named on Friday, says PCB chief

  Pakistan`s captain for the World Cup will be named on Friday, a day before the final match of their ongoing one-day series in New Zealand, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ijaz Butt said.

Talking to Pakistani media here on Monday, Ijaz, however, refused to say who would captain the side in the mega event, starting from Feb 19.

Limited-overs captain Shahid Afridi and Test skipper Misbah-ul-Haq are in the race to lead the side.

“We will announce the captain on Friday that is decided now,” he said.

Ijaz said India were willing to play a series against Pakistan in England sometime this year.

“We have made good progress in talks with the Indian board to resume bilateral cricket ties and they have indicated they are willing to resume them,” he added.
