Speaking to ARY News, Inzamam-Ul-Haq said: “I said this even before the match, that this statement of leaving captaincy after the tournament… it is not good. You have to play a big event and this shows that there is pressure on you and you are not comfortable. They all knew that after this tournament, Shastri was to get replaced by Dravid.”
Inzamam further said that no one takes such a big decision going into a tournament like a World Cup and emphasized that there was some problem between the skipper, coach, and the board.
“This should not happen before a big event. Your authority gets challenged. And this means that relations between Kohli, Shastri and board were not great. If India were to win the T20 World Cup, would they have removed the captain and coach? There was some problem between them,” he further said.
Earlier, Virat Kohli had announced that he will step down from the captaincy role in the shortest format after the T20 World Cup & it was also known that Ravi Shastri’s coaching tenure will also come to an end after the showpiece event.

He further said that every team is a little concerned when it comes to facing Pakistan’s bowling attack.
“Our fast bowlers always stamp their authority on India. We have always had a good pace battery. Every team is a little apprehensive about facing Pakistan’s bowling,” said Inzamam.
