Interesting that Imran Khan comes to the defence of Mohammad Yousuf. Many of Yousuf's detractors have spoken of the over emphasis he places on religion, and the way he credits religion for all of his successes. Imran's comment that it is religion that has given Yousuf spiritual strength is intriguing, as Imran Khan was captain of the cricket team at a very different time. Religion was a subdued part of the Pakistani cricket system, and I doubt if at any time Imran, Javed and Mohsin Khan were to be found praying in congregation after a practice session. It is true, that Imran Khan has become more vocal in recent years about his own personal beliefs and the role religion is playing in his personal and political life, yet I wonder if he would have been comfortable leading a team with such overt religious overtones.
