Salman Butt will captain Pakistan for the first time on Wednesday in the second test against Australia at Headingley, marking a new era for Pakistani cricket _ a mere eight days after the previous new era had apparently dawned.
A week is a long time in the highly politicized world of Pakistan cricket.
On July 13, Shahid Afridi returned to the test arena for the first time in four years to captain Pakistan in its nominal home test with Australia, played at Lord's due to the security situation in Pakistan.
Yet before the game had even finished Afridi had resigned and after Pakistan's 150-run defeat he announced his retirement from test cricket with immediate effect.
