9 Questions to honourable Mr. Misbah ul Haq and honourable Mr. Waqar Younis..!

Mr. Misbah ul Haq and Mr. Waqar Younis, while both of you strongly recommending Mr. Azhar Ali to the PCB, for the Captainship of Pakistani ODI cricket team, said that he (Mr. Azhar Ali) was an excellent ODI material; and Mr. Azhar Ali would have been selected for the World Cup team, but narrowly missed the selection.
So far so good.
However, Mr. Misbah ul Haq and Mr. Waqar Younis owes to the nation, replies of the following questions:

1. When both of you came to know about the ODI abilities of Mr. Azhar Ali?

2. If Mr. Azhar Ali’s ODI abilities were known to both of you prior to the announcement of the World Cup probables on 6th December 2014, why as a captain and national head coach, you did NOT suggest and strongly recommend Mr. Azhar Ali’s name to be included in the squad of the 15 players?

3. If Mr. Azhar Ali was such a gem of an ODI cricketer, to be suddenly made captain of the Pakistani team, why he was never groomed by Mr. Misbah ul Haq, as vice captain, during his tenure of leading the Pakistani team since the year 2011.

4. Why Mr. Misbah ul Haq didn’t consider Mr. Azhar Ali at least suitable to play as an ordinary player for the last THREE years?

5. Why Mr. Waqar Younis didn’t consider Mr. Azhar Ali suitable for inclusion in the national team for any ODI match, played during his almost one year old tenure, as head coach.

6. Isn’t it not a sufficient proof of intellectual dishonesty of ALL THOSE, who have recommended a player to the chairman PCB, for elevation as a national team’s captain, who themselves deliberately kept this gem of a player named Mr. Azhar Ali, out of the playing eleven, since the year 2012, when Mr.Azhar Ali last played an ODI for Pakistan?

7. Is there any precedent in any Test playing country, which selected a player as captain of the ODI team, who didn’t represent his national team for ODI matches, for the last 3 years?

8. Is the appointment of a national ODI captain a joke or a serious matter?
If it is a serious matter, then why Mr. Misbah ul Haq and Mr. Waqar Younis are hell bent upon playing a joke with the nation, regarding their own recommendations for appointment of the next ODI captain, who was NOT considered suitable to be included in the national team for the last 3 years?

9. Now, God forbid, if
an ODI discarded player since 2012, who is being sent to lead Pakistani ODI team, as a captain on tour of Bangladesh, fails in his assignment, will Mr. Misbah ul Haq and Mr. Waqar Younis accept their responsibilities of playing a joke with the nation; and leave the arena of Pakistan’s cricket for the good?
