There are many things that go into making a great team: a good opening pair, potent strike bowlers, a wicketkeeper who can bat, a captain whoinspires from behind and leads from the front

It is a startling record; since the beginning of 2001, Pakistan have played in 34 Tests and drawn only two

Kamran Akmal silenced an expanding list of critics with a fabulous, first one-day international century that turned a difficult chase into a virtual stroll against West Indies

Inzamam-ul-Haq's remarkable return to favour was capped by the announcement that he will lead Pakistan in the absence of the suspended Rashid Latif in the five-match ODI series against Bangladesh, which starts on Tuesday (September 9)
