Pakistan to get new captain after Aus tour: Butt

---

KARACHI, Jan 23 (BSS/AFP) - Pakistan are to appoint a new captain after the tour of Australia next month, the country's cricket chief said Friday.
"This captain (Moham- mad Yousuf) was for this series only and we will decide after the tour of Australia about the captain, we will change," Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ijaz Butt told the private ARY News channel.
Yousuf-led Pakistan were whitewashed 3-0 in the Test series against Australia earlier this month.
Pakistan had appointed Younus Khan captain for the tour of New Zealand in November-December last year but he pulled out to take rest, forcing the PCB to hand over the captaincy to Yousuf.
Following the New Zealand trip, Yousuf was retained for the Australia tour as Younus did not make himself available.
Butt said the loss of Younus as captain was unfortunate.
