Afridi started his ascendence to the captaincy in June 2009 when he took over from &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Younus_Khan&quot; title=&quot;Younus Khan&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;Younus Khan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; after that he was handed the ODI captaincy for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/2010_Asia_Cup&quot; title=&quot;2010 Asia Cup&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;2010 Asia Cup&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. In his first match as ODI captain against Sri Lanka he scored a century however Pakistan still lost by 16 runs. He then also took over the test captaincy but resigned after one test-match in charge citing lack of form and ability to play test cricket. He captained Pakistan in the following limited overs series against England and South Africa. Afridi after taking the captaincy has been publicly fighting with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Pakistan_Cricket_Board&quot; title=&quot;Pakistan Cricket Board&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;Pakistan Cricket Board&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; over who has the say in selection. Afridi and coach &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Waqar_Younis&quot; title=&quot;Waqar Younis&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;Waqar Younis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; criticsed the fact that they weren&#39;t consulted among the selection of the team for the October ODI series. Afridi became much happier with the selection when he was consulted for the 30-man world cup squad and the squad for the New Zealand series.&lt;br /&gt;

Later he worked on his action and changed it to a legal way. After that he was recalled by the selectors but could not find his form immediately. But slowly he managed to perform consistently and become a regular member of the national side.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Ricky Thomas Ponting&lt;/b&gt; (born 19 December 1974), nicknamed &lt;b&gt;Punter&lt;/b&gt;, is the current &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Captain_(cricket)&quot; title=&quot;Captain (cricket)&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;captain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of the &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Australian_cricket_team&quot; title=&quot;Australian cricket team&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;Australian cricket team&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. He is a specialist right-handed &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Batting_(cricket)&quot; title=&quot;Batting (cricket)&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;batsman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, slips and close catching fielder, as well as a very occasional &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Bowling_(cricket)&quot; title=&quot;Bowling (cricket)&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;bowler&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. He is regarded as one of Australia&#39;s finest cricketers in the modern era. He represents the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Tasmanian_Tigers&quot; title=&quot;Tasmanian Tigers&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;Tasmanian Tigers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Cricket_in_Australia&quot; title=&quot;Cricket in Australia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;Australian domestic cricket&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and played in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Indian_Premier_League&quot; title=&quot;Indian Premier League&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;Indian Premier League&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Kolkata_Knight_Riders&quot; title=&quot;Kolkata Knight Riders&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;Kolkata Knight Riders&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in 2008.&lt;br /&gt;
Ponting made his &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/First-class_cricket&quot; title=&quot;First-class cricket&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;first-class debut&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for Tasmania in November 1992, when just 17 years and 337 days old, becoming the youngest Tasmanian to play in a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Sheffield_Shield&quot; title=&quot;Sheffield Shield&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;Sheffield Shield&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; match. However, he had to wait until 1995 before making his &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/One_Day_International&quot; title=&quot;One Day International&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;One Day International&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (ODI) debut, during a quadrangular tournament in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/New_Zealand&quot; title=&quot;New Zealand&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;New Zealand&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in a match against &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/South_Africa_national_cricket_team&quot; title=&quot;South Africa national cricket team&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;South Africa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. His Test debut followed shortly after, when selected for the first Test of the 1995 home series against &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Sri_Lanka_national_cricket_team&quot; title=&quot;Sri Lanka national cricket team&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;Sri Lanka&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in Perth, in which he scored 96. He lost his place in the national team several times in the period before early-1999, due to lack of form and discipline, before becoming One Day International captain in early-2002 and Test captain in early-2004.&lt;br /&gt;
After being involved in 151&amp;nbsp;Tests and 352&amp;nbsp;ODIs, Ponting is Australia&#39;s leading run-scorer in Test and ODI cricket, with more than 25,000&amp;nbsp;international runs as of July 2010. He has scored 39&amp;nbsp;Test centuries—behind only Indian &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Sachin_Tendulkar&quot; title=&quot;Sachin Tendulkar&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;Sachin Tendulkar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (50)&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-0&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=4876076824365663447&amp;amp;postID=2474392967355804253#cite_note-0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;[1]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;—and third for most runs in ODIs behind Tendulkar and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Sanath_Jayasuriya&quot; title=&quot;Sanath Jayasuriya&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;Sanath Jayasuriya&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-1&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=4876076824365663447&amp;amp;postID=2474392967355804253#cite_note-1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;[2]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

His nickname &quot;Freddie&quot; or &quot;Fred&quot; comes from the similarity between his surname and that of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Fred_Flintstone&quot; title=&quot;Fred Flintstone&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;Fred Flintstone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and was first used in the press as a quip because of the issues he had with his weight when he first emerged onto the scene.&lt;br /&gt;
From his debut in 1998, Flintoff became an integral player for England, and has both captained and vice-captained the team. However, he suffered regular injuries throughout his international career, often due to his heavy frame and bowling action. During the period 2007–09 he played in only 13 of England&#39;s 36 Test matches, but nevertheless remained a core member of the England squad, being selected whenever available. On 15 July 2009 he announced his retirement from Test cricket at the conclusion of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/2009_Ashes_series&quot; title=&quot;2009 Ashes series&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;2009 Ashes series&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, on 24 August, but made himself available for future commitments in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/One_Day_International&quot; title=&quot;One Day International&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;One Day International&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Twenty20&quot; title=&quot;Twenty20&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0645ad;&quot;&gt;Twenty20&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; International matches.&lt;br /&gt;
