Crimes of Misbah-ul-Haq: Oathgate, Blocking youngsters etc.

RedwoodOriginal said:
Blaming Misbah-ul-Haq in 2026 for everything wrong with Pakistan cricket is just about the most intellectually lazy thing you can do. He left the coaching setup 5 years ago... are you telling me that he was using a remote control to control all the coaches and chief-selectors that came after him? Did they not have their own free-will to promote Fakhar Zaman up the order?

And if he really was this evil mastermind holding Pakistan back then we should have seen dramatic improvement by now,. Why is then that this crap team just keeps getting worse and worse?

Pakistani fans need a scapegoat and Misbah is the perfect scapegoat.

Yeah misbah done nothing.........at least on his era pakistan test team was good..... these mediocre players should be thrown out of team 3 years ago.....now too late

I have alot of respect for Misbah for what he achieved as a test cricketer and test captain, and no amount of passive aggressive comments that people make here will change my mind. Yes, he was a poor white-ball cricketer who failed to win some big matches for Pakistan, but to me what he achieved in test cricket overshadows that especially considering where Pakistan's cricket was in 2010 in the aftermath of the spot-fixing scandal when he took over.

I think people hold him responsible for 2011 more. And tbh he did blow that run-chase with his batting. For 2007 it's more about that moment that's imprinted on everyone's minds where he played that ramp shot into Sreesanth's hands.
 
Funny hwo these posters wanted saim ayub as opener. And when saim failed and fakhar worked they are trying to hude

It’s nowhere near as embarrassing to insist on how Babar and Rizwan opening in T20s is necessary! Who’s guilty of this hamaaqat??

Nonsense

They reached semi finals because Rizwan and Babar were proper T20 openers?

Come on Major let it go!

They reached finals because shadab and shaheen were still good along with haris rauf in Australia......plus chachu ifti playing some good knocks.......
 
Some you guys.

2021-2024: Fakhar is NOT a t20 opener. Rizbar are the best option
2025-2026 pre W20: Farhan is a tullah..
During 2026 - ok, ok…..Farhan has done well, but Saim, Saim is the big problem…..see Fakhar is a much better opener and Saim was holding up his place

Can you admit that his strategy was flawed?
Click to expand...
His middle and lower order strategy was flawed, along with the fact that under his limited over captaincy fakhar zaman would never had been discovered.

But his babar-rizwan strategy worked in 2021 world t20. He was coach till the eve of world t20 2021, after that his influence wasnt there.
 

Ahmed Shahzad speaking during a TV SHOW:

“Haseebullah was being talked about as the next choice, where is he?. He even went with Shaheens, performed there with 50 average. He is an international player, a senior player, yet when he goes to play domestic cricket, he is benched there. His thinking must be: ‘My every match counts for me, I have to play for Pakistan, and I just scored runs with an average of 50 for A-side. My every performance is important, so why am I not playing?’ He even asked the coach, Misbah-ul-Haq, what was going on, and it must have hurt his ego, and then he was benched for the whole season.”

“But the matter didn’t stop there. Let’s assume you didn’t take that question to heart, but if you stop his salary, that’s another issue. His salary didn’t come for 3-4 months. Since when have we started doing this—blocking people’s salaries?”

“Later, when the team was announced, and his name was not there, then he called Mike Hesson to ask about it, like ’What’s happening, what should I do, why am I sidelined?’ But he was told that three or four people were making the team—Khurram Niazi, Mike Hesson, the chief selector, and Misbah-ul-Haq, who is their advisor.”

“Even within the selection committee, they said, “This guy has an attitude problem, a discipline problem.” They were deciding on that basis. But what is their criteria? To judge someone’s discipline record like this, to play with the future of players just because of these things? And he’s not the only one.”

“All these things happen only when merit is ignored, and players are chosen based on personal likes and dislikes. Just like they said about Abdul Samad—what performance has he given? Tell me, how easy have they made it?”

Yaar I was empathizing with this guy, since he cried on national TV earlier however he can't refrain from making chawal statements. Some facts:
-Misbah was the one that recalled Shehzad (and Umar Akmal) in T20is and to this day Misbah gets flak for that decsion. Yet this backstabber made a career out of talking smack about him.
-Haseebullah is young around 22. He's not a senior player by any means. He played for PCT after Misbah's coaching stint. His performances, international and PSL are there for everyone to see. He was already being associated as being Misbah's pick. Imagine the flak Misbah would get if he selected this tuk tuk player.
-We have better wicket keeper options and better openers. Where should he play? He's not a T20 option at the moment
 
Haseeb is a good player for the longer format, only issue is that he is not that good of a keeper.

Certainly better than some of the keepers we have given a chance to though

He should have been on the tour to Bangladesh

Such lies.

Haseebullah plays for Misbahs team, SNGPL. He did not really performed well yet he played almost all games. Infact he even failed to score runs against Sahir Associates, one of the worst teams, and still got to play against KRL in the next game.

Currently he is playing t20 tournament with Quetta
 
People dont really understand the dynamics of pakistan cricket, so they just bark garbage on Misbah whenever they want.

Karachi cricket head is Azam Khan now, and he has alot of control and say. This is not the Azam Khan the ayer but anotber guy, who runs cricket in Karachi.

Plus, Sarfraz has alot of say now in PCB. So these guys have been promoting Ghazi Gouri as the next best thing and his selection has come from them.

Naqvi wanted to keep karachi association happy, so for dropping Ayub, they bought in their most hyped thing.

Meanwhile to keep pmlns talat hussaun happy, they selected his son, Shamyl hussain

I watched a few clips of the Haarna mana hai show, Shehzad does not hold back against Misbah. What's the bad blood there? I thought his beef was with Waqar who had singled him and Akmal out in his report after WC 2015 and T20 WC 2016. Instead he's all praises for Waqar but goes after Misbah who actually gave him another chance
 
Any Pro Shahzad fans on here that are also Anti Misbah, Babar and Rizwan are very likely Ahmed Shahzad

Basically when a player fails to perform under a certain captain, even if he select him, instead of accepting they suck, they put the blame on the captain.

Still that is not the issue, the fact that he lied on national tv, thats an issue. Haseebullah has played for sngpl lol.

Anyways, Ahmad is a literal crybaby, lol cries on national tv so.... hope to they such liars keep on crying on tv

All these things doesn't contradict what he says.

Every event needs to be looked in isolation on its own. It has no bearing on past events. Particularly in this instance.

The only question is. If what Ahmed is saying is true. If it is true then it's a travesty. If it's not then Ahmed needs to be potentially sent a notice by Misbah.

Now on to Haseeb. Haseeb has been your next up and coming young WK batter. He has performed for years in domestic FC and List A.

If anybody thinks that Ghori deserved to get pick ahead of Haseeb then he's either a Lifafa or Naive fan who doesn't even know C of Cricket.

Shehzad has complains about almost anyone who was part of the management, captaincy, coaching etc. in that era. You are right, Misbah gave him and Umar Akmal a chance which they couldn't take.

Nothing is in isolation in Pakistan cricket. If Shehzad knows so much - which I'm assuming he's in touch with Haseebullah - then he would've known what Haseebullah said to Misbah, so why didn't he spill the beans on that. Maybe the kid does have discipline issues and it's better for his growth that that issue is curbed at a young age. He does come from a cricketing family and early success could've gotten to his head. Could also be his father or uncle pulling the strings from behind to get him some limelight with Misbah being an easy target. Anyways the kid got his chance when he performed. He didn't impress much.

As for Misbah sending a notice, he's not petty like that. Bigger players than Shehzad have talked smack about him yet he stayed quiet. Gotta admire the man for keeping out outside noise and focusing on his actual goals without resorting to personal paybacks.

One of those goals for PCT is to find a replacement for Rizwan after the next WC. Recent form also matters and if you didn't know Ghori was the player of the tournament in the recent President's trophy. He was the 2nd highest run getter and the cleanest keeper. Remember the goal is to find a young wicket keeper batter not just a batter for the longer formats. Ghori is a better keeper than Haseebullah at the moment and deserves his chance much like Haseebullah got his a few years back.

As for the politics, Haseebullah and family would do well to stay on Misbah's good side. Not only is he the coach of SNGPL, an advisor to the national selection committee (which I just learnt), he's also the batting coach of Peshawar Zalmi, the PSL team Haseebullah plays for. So yeah Misbah is going to have an impact on his career, better for him to just listen.
 
@RidiculousMan also Shehzad bringing up Misbah and talking smack is not an isolated incident either. He's done this continously through out this show and he's proud to, even gloating that he has a long contract with Geo so the vitriol isn't going to stop. What I'm interested to find out is what exactly is his beef with Misbah? If you have any insight into this that would be great to know

He brought Pakistan back into the game, when he came into the crease, I think at a point in time the game was 78-6, so Misbah played a great innings, the issue was just the shot he played, it was not required. So he is not the one to blame for the loss, because they where on the verge of losing, if he did not play a great innings.

2011, yes he is at fault, but not only him the whole team in general was bad that day. We had 4 dropped catches a fairly simple total to chase. My issue was Hafeez he was on 40 something and was looking good and played a bad shot, that is what caused the issues for Pakistan. Asad Shafiq got out at the wrong time, Younis Khan scored 13 runs off 32, followed by Umar Akmal going at the wrong time, and Afridi getting out on full toss. Everything just went wrong that day.

However Credit to India bowling, they made it tough and there fielding was top notch that day too.

I think he was worried about the prospect of Asif facing any ball at all, which is probably what prompted him to play that shot. But that's the thing, he didn't have to play that specific shot. He should have been confident enough to find the gap against a bowler like Joginder Sharma. He had an extra ball cushion.

It was a choke - a full on choke. All his sixes were straight down the ground. One thing I’ll always give Misbah is that he was a big hitter down the ground. The problem is he never had the courage to do it when the pressure was on. For him - the pressure was on when the match was live. When the situation is futile or unlikely RRR, he played carefree and better.

But finally, the pressure was on now, and he choked. Why would you even play a shot you have no evidence of success?

Playing that shot made sense and there was logic behind it. Fine leg was in the circle. The bowler just dropped his pace on that bad and just went wide.

All other fielders were at the boundaey as Dhoni was without any options against Misbah. Even on the straight it was not a certain boundary as he could had been caught. But had their been even 5kph more pace on that ball, it would had flown away for a 4 atleast.

Just joginders luck that day.

Funny thing was, throughout the tournament his shot worked. But in the final and than during a series against india i think or south africa, that shot failed. After two failiures with that shot he stopped playing it

Agreed 100%. For anyone who watched that tournament would understand why Misbah played that shot, and you can’t blame him for that.

People can blame him for everything else that he did later on after that but not for that shot.

Those who have watched Wasim Badami's recent show with Younis Khan would know that Misbah-ul-Haq was the master mind behind the Oath Gate during Champions Trophy 2010. He was the one who called all the players to get united to oust YK.

Then lets move it a bit forward, Misbah becomes captain and continues to lead Pakistan for more than half the decade. During his captaincy, he was known to play his friends and block youngsters. During his involvement with Islamabad United, Babar was sold to Karachi and was not even given any opportunity.

During his captaincy, Pakistan reached new lows - we were lowest ranked in our history during Misbah's reign. Played a lethargic, terrible brand of cricket and got humiliated in all ICC events including the WC 2015, and Champions Trophy.

Later on, post his retirement, he again played the "friends" card and made Azhar Ali the captain. Someone he had not even selected in his LOI squad. Azhar Ai went on to achieve historic defeats in which losing to Bangladesh tops the list.

After that, he played the biggest criminal master stroke. He conspired to become the head coach of Pakistani team by ousting Mickey Arthur through a fraudulent committee process. Only in Pakistan, the committee head of firing someone, replaces him.

Zero talent, Zero skill, Zero certifications - and he became the head coach and selector of Pakistani team. Alongwith that, to keep the double dip going, he didnt even let go of the IU management position.

This all truly goes against his public image of being a "nice, harmless" guy when in reality he has been the main lead of the many shameful aspects of Pakistan cricket in the past one decade.

Haseebullah plays for Misbahs team, SNGPL. He did not really performed well yet he played almost all games. Infact he even failed to score runs against Sahir Associates, one of the worst teams, and still got to play against KRL in the next game.

Currently he is playing t20 tournament with Quetta

It’s not complete lies.

Misbah and Waqar made the “champion’s cup” teams in the build up to the ICC Champions Trophy at home in 2024. Misbah picked Rizwan and Haseebullah for his Markhor’s side and he was questioned then too as to why pick the kid who’s looking to replace Rizwan only to bench him? Haseebullah easily started in all other teams as a keeper+batter in List A. Misbah made some bogus excuse then too that he had a long term vision for Haseeb and will eventually play him once Rizwan goes away on national duty.

Why can’t Misbah still be blamed for his extremely stupid decisions that have had catastrophic consequences to this day but all of you will happily blame Aqib for each and everything for the next 50 years??

As per some social media posts, Misbah-ul-Haq has sent a defamation notice to Ahmed Shahzad for accusing him of being responsible for Haseebullah Khan not receiving his salary.
