"When the Pakistan team is playing, I feel like I am still out there with them" : Misbah-ul-Haq

Misbah-ul-Haq speaking at the PCB awards ceremony after being given the spirit of cricket and lifetime achievement awards:

"All the players who I've played with in any team whether that's the Pakistan team, department or regional teams or club teams - without them, this wouldn't have been possible."

"The way the players supported me during my captaincy period with their performances and the respect they gave me, I will always remember that."

"Still when the Pakistan team is playing, I feel like I am out there with them. When they win, I think I feel even more happiness than I would have if I was playing alongside them."

"I would like to thank my family, friends and specially my parents, wife and kids for supporting me. I couldn't give them the time that is their right as I away for long periods of time due to cricket but they supported me. Without that, it would have been very difficult for me to give so much time to cricket."

Misbah hints next PSL could be his final

LAHORE: Former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq hinted on Thursday that the next Pakistan Super League (PSL) could be his final.

The 43-year-old, who led Pakistan to their maiden Test series victory in the West Indies in his final international assignment in May this year, said that he would be deciding his future after next year’s PSL.

Misbah also hailed the arrival of World XI, currently playing Pakistan in a three-match T20 International series here at the Gaddafi Stadium.

With the series intriguingly poised at 1-1, Misbah observed the opening two matches have provided good competition and expects another exciting battle in the series-decider on Friday.

Misbah said if Pakistan bat first they must score 190-plus since the World XI boast of a good batting line-up, while the home team has looked strong in the bowling department.

Meanwhile, Waqar Younis, who has joined Islamabad United as their bowling coach and director cricket, said the entire PSL should be played in the country as it would greatly help in changing the future of Pakistan cricket in a positive way.
