Rashid Latif

He also served as the captain of the Pakistan team in 2003, leading the country in 6 Test[3] and 25 one-day matches.

Latif remained out of the national squad until 2001, when after a string of poor performances, the Pakistan team replaced Moin Khan.

After returning to the squad, he secured his place by keeping the wicket and giving a string of good batting performances.

The highlight of his career came after the 2003 Cricket World Cup, when he was named the captain of the Pakistan team.

However, problems between Latif and the team management again surfaced in 2003–04, which resulted in him giving away the captaincy to former Pakistan batsman Inzamam-ul-Haq.

"[18] In August 2010, the coach of the Afghan team Kabir Khan announced that he was going to leave his post because of consistent interference by the board.

[19] Latif's stint as the Afghan coach got off to a good start when Afghanistan registered a 162-run win over Kenya in the ICC Intercontinental Cup but then lost the first ODI by 92 runs; Kenya were bowled out for 160 but Afghanistan's batting order collapsed for 88.

The team took a six-wicket victory during the second ODI as Kenya succumbed to 139 and Afghanistan suffered a poor start with opener Noor Ali retiring hurt and Karim Sadiq being caught.

[21] Afghanistan lost the final but celebrated the accomplishment of collecting their first ever Asian Games medal with a second-place silver.

The next assignment of Latif's team was the ICC Intercontinental Cup where Afghanistan played Scotland in the final.

Latif stated that Afghanistan liked to play aggressive cricket and the players were mentally very tough and hated to lose.

Despite this, another great bowling performance from Hassan and Samiullah Shenwari meant that Scotland were skittled for just 82 in their second innings.

[5] He stated that his aim was to help the team get the status to play Test cricket in two years' time.
