145;Team spirit was missing146;

8220;But yes, when I met the players individually in Lahore and Karachi, I got the distinct impression that cohesion and spirit were missing in the team after the one-day series,8221; Shaharyar said.

The PCB chief, however, spoke in defence of captain Inzamam-ul Haq and coach Javed Miandad. 8220;Inzamam is the best man for captaincy at present. I think we fought brilliantly in the one-day series but for some reasons we fell away in the Test matches and it all went wrong in the final Test.

8220;In contrast, India was a more united and combined side. They are lucky to have a core of experienced and quality professionals in the team who perform consistently and guide the youngsters. So their victory was not a big surprise in a way,8221; he said.

But Shaharyar said the one big positive had been that 8220;we have decided that in future only that player who is willing to perform for the team and not himself8230;. Someone who puts his team before everything else, will be picked.8221;
