Habibul Bashar faces axe

Bangladesh cricket captain Habibul Bashar is nearing the end of his reign as the undisputed contender for the top job in the game. After a disastrous personal world cup debacle, Bashar the gentelman of the game is seeming more likely to be axed, some sources suggest.

The captain of Bangladesh has been lacking the basic drive to contend in the international stage. Fans have called for his resignation, and are eager to see the dashing Mohammad Ashraful replace him.

Although cricket analysts are worried about the burden of captaincy hindering Ashraful's talent.
