Captaincy of Pakistan Cricket Team

July 1st, 2008

 Misbah ul Haq, Captaincy, Shoaib Malik

The fact that captaincy of Pakistan is no less than a crown of thorns, is a well known. So it comes as a pleasant surprise to see an eagerly optimistic Misbah-ul-Haq bracing up for what might be his toughest challenge of his nascent career so far, captaining Pakistan in a do or die clash against India and the lone warrior in their previous Super four encounter against Sri Lanka and vice captain Misbah said that he was ready to don the mantle of captaincy if Shoaib Malik doesn’t play. I am ready to handle captaincy he said. I have been regularly helping captain so captaincy should not be a problem he said ahead of the crucial clash against arch rivals India. Though the hosts stand on the brink of elimination in the Asia Cup Misbah felt that the pressure would be on the Indians. Pressure would be on Indians too. One defeat can put them in trouble. Both the matches are crucial for India too. Misbah also ruled out possibility of any wholesome changes in the team. Minor changes here and there we will decide the playing eleven after looking at the pitch tomorrow. Misbah who is fast acquiring a reputation as the new crisis man for Pakistan rubbished reports that the morale in their camp is low. All players know the importance of tomorrow’s game we will give it our all he promised.
