Harsh Response To Critics – Misbah Says Not Coming Back

Misbah Not Coming To ODI Cricket Again
LAHORE: Responding strongly to harsh words of Shoaib Akhtar, Muhammad Yousuf, Sarfaraz Nawaz and others, Misbah-ul-Haq says there needs to be criteria for employing experts by media houses in Pakistan..

Speaking out against people who had criticised his decisions as captain during the World Cup, Misbah said it seemed like those who could not get any employment would become cricket experts.

Misbah emphasised he had not intentions to return to ODI cricket calling upon Sikander Bakht who had been critical of him to distribute sweets.

Misbah said the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) policy on selection was clear and it was the selection committee which had this authority. “The captain gives his opinion but the final decision rests with the committee. I do not have the right to disagree with it.”

Expressing his disappointment with the batting, Misbah added that the batting unit needed to mature and capitalize on their innings. “Not being able to get big scores was a problem throughout the tournament.”

When asked about Sarfaraz Ahmed, Misbah replied he had been struggling in Pakistan’s matches prior to the World Cup. “We gave a chance to a proper opener and after trying all options brought in Sarafaz.

There was no issue with Sarafaz, myself and Waqar had promoted Sarfaraz in UAE as an opener.”

Misbah was critical of Pakistan’s performance with the bat and on the field.

“Our performance in these fields is not at par with international standards. Improvement will come when we improve our basic structures.”

He praised the team’s bowling ability saying that bowlers created opportunities for the team throughout the tournament.

“I am satisfied with my career and gave it my full effort. In the future I will pray for the Pakistan team,” Misbah said.

He added that there needs to be criteria for employing experts by media houses in Pakistan.

The former ODI captain thanked the PCB for supporting him despite all the criticism. “The cricket board supported me throughout my tenure as captain.”

  1. Misbah sahib, When the ship sinks the captain goes with it to the bottom of the sea. In your case , lucky you, there is no real death but your career should have been dead long time ago. It is your selfishness that the team continue to face defeat after defeat.
