Misbah to retire after WI series

Bijed

International Regular
wtf? didn't he score a 100 against NZ recently?
91, but apart from that he had a poor series against them, and also did poorly against Australia.

That said, being dropped for Shan Masood is unfair.

Oh well Younis. You've been a great pillar of support for Pakistan batting in the last 6 to 7 years.

Well played, and sad to see you go :(

Its very odd as Sami was also dropped for batting to slowly, er Shan isn't exactly Warner:laugh:

I suppose with the recent betting stuff, getting in Shan who from all accounts is a model pro, educated and got friends in important places is expected even though he is really is average.

I'd assume Shezhad will open though as he should never have been dropped in the first place.

Younis and Misbah are monster losses for reasons we all know, replacements?

Salahuddin has ran riot in four day cricket and I suspect that everyone in Pakistan will pray Sohail will be able to come back as his four day record was immense.

Fawad Alam is possible, pointless in limited overs cricket, but there will be a space for a middle order anchor style batsman in tests. The guy deserves another go in the format he is most suited for.

However knowing Pakistan they will probably recall him for the limited overs team first:laugh:

Younis ☹

The last Great from the Wasim/Waqar era. My favourite Pakistani player and one of the best batsmen we have ever had. Will be missed.

I hope they pick Usman. Remember that they unfairly got rid of him after a match or two.

will misbah stay involved in cricket in pakistan?

characters like him in the chaotic world of pakistan cricket are like gold dust and the board should be going all out to keep him involved.
