"If Misbah wants to continue playing, he should tell that to me directly": Shahryar Khan [update#74]

[adil_909]

Not many are questioning his decision to carry on the ANZ tours.

We are questioning his decision to STILL CARRY ON.

How does that help the team?

It doesn't.

It just helps him retire on a high.

Sometimes you have to look beyond your own self-esteem and ego and do something for the greater good.

Not many Pakistani cricketers have ever done that.

Many people were criticizing him for going on AUS/NZ tours, there were all sorts of threads about it. But I agree time is now to retire. I think he feels partially responsible for how poorly the tours went, and doesn't want that to be what people remember of him. But I don't think touring Windies changes that. And I said it before, but I still believe he will retire after PSL and prior to the Windies tour.

He should step down as a captain and help Sarfraz become a good captain .. Look at India how Dhoni is playing under Kholi and at the same time he is helping Kholi with his captaincy. Why Misbah can't do that .. Jealousy maybe in that case ? Misbah is jealous that he has gain so much respect and he has to retire right after .. Maybe his plan is to drop Pakistan test cricket to the bottom and thn retire... Like he did with ODI ?

Khan sahib needs to keep his trap shut, I thought this guy claimed to be a career diplomat? Diplomacy must mean something different in Urdu

It's not that hard, if Misbah has contacted the PCB to say "I'm retired" then he's not available. If the PCB haven't heard anything, proceed as though Misbah is available.

It's not rocket science.
