The first captaincy change - Shoaib Malik is Pakistan's skipper
The Pakistan Cricket Board has announced that Shoaib Malik is the new Pakistan captain until the end of the year.
Other captains expected to be cast aside in the near future, as a result of their teams' performances in the World Cup, are Brian Lara (possibly both tests and ODIs) and Michael Vaughan (ODIs).
I do expect Stephen Fleming to quit as captain, possibly handing over to Daniel Vettori.
The one captain on thin ground would possibly be Rahul Dravid while no-one knows what would happen to Prosper Utseya.
