President Musharraf said leadership and team spirit are the outstanding factors, which lift a team to highest standards. “The captain has to lead from the front by setting personal example and I am delighted to see the team united and focused under the stewardship of Inzamam, who has been outstanding in the series both as a captain and as a player,” he stated.
