How many youngsters have debut under Misbah?? - All were middle age trundlers...Wahab has serious wrist release problem, but despite that he has won quite a few test in Asia for us... I am not advocating for Wahab on seaming and green conditions, but for dry and hard surface he is still useful...Not really an allrounder bowler, Misbah has nothing to do with Wahab... But his tactics has made Amir less useful as well, again defensive mindset, bowlers are constantly bowling back of the length as primary mode of operation...
He threw away NJ, Sami, and kept Hafeez as an opener, NJ was more equipped to deal with pace and Sami was clearly better opener from every aspect. But youngsters have to walk on water before get the confidence of Misbah...Its like he will take developed player only, not going to invest in developing them...
Babar, Harris were not introduced at all, almost 2/3 years late. In Pakistani setup, you got to get players in early, spending 3/4 years in domestic ruins players, they don't develop there...Pakistan used to debut teenagers and U23 players all the time in test...Guys like Shadab and Hassan will take 2/3 years to get debut under Misbah, but then there talent is ruined, they will be normalized to Domestic standards...Harris like NJ was lost by Misbah's pragmatism...Taking UA out of test was another of Misbah's big blunder. He would have learned and developed a lot better in tests...
