Legendary Ex Pakistan captain Imran Khan has criticized Misbah’s defensive style of captaincy. He also criticized batting order of Misbah Ul Haq. He said that captain should play at number 3 instead of number 6. He said that at number six Misbah always took time for setting and this factor prevent Pakistan from big scores.
Responding to a question regarding the old age of Misbah, Imran Khan said that age do not matters if you are fit and inform but still PCB has to look for new captain.
In third ODI between Pakistan and England when Pakistan was on peak and England was 4 down at less than 100 and when Leg Spinner Shahid Afridi was bowling, even at that time Misbah adopted defensive strategy and did not apply any slip. Resultantly when Shahid Afridi deceived Peterson and Peterson played the ball towards the slip, no one was there to catch it and later on Peterson scored century and England win the match convincingly.
This is reality that Misbah is not fit for ODIs, therefore, PCB should include stroke players like Ahmed Shehzad into the squad. Pakistan needs to include replacement of Younis Khan for future. Pakistan has to pick young blood like Sohail Khan in fast bowling department. Pakistan needs to pick a good all-rounder as real replacement for Abdul Razaq.
But the priorities of Pakistan’s captain are awkward. He requested the board to include old “Shoaib Malik” even after the selection of team for ODIs. What it means. The only cause may be that Misbah make a come back to team when Shaib Malik was captain in past and now Misbah tried to give Shoaib reward of that by selecting now Shoaib in the Squad.
