Captain,not coach more important for cricket team: Imran

8220;I think too much time and effort is spent and wasted on who the coach should be. Coaches basically have very limited ability to help a team and I don8221;t understand this obsession with coaches,because basically Australia was not the best team because of their coach,they were the best team because they were a great team and they had a good domestic cricket structure which kept on throwing up good players and they had a good quality captain,8221; Pakpassion.com quoted him,as saying.

8220;If a coach was such a big thing then Zimbabwe or Bangladesh or one of the other weaker teams could just have a good coach and he could transform the team. It cannot work like that. Yes,a captain can play a major role but not a coach. I always find that people do not understand that cricket is perhaps the only game that needs leadership and that needs a captain who needs to be a leader,8221; Khan added.
