Pakistan ODI and Test team captain Misbah-ul-haq re started his career very aggressively in 2007 in T20 world cup. He played one of the most memorable innings against Australia and India .In T20 world cup match against India he played a very calculative inning that’s why the commentator Ravi Shastri said his brain is working like a computer but unfortunately Pakistan lost the world cup final after playing a very close match because of Misbah exuberance against India but after the 2007 T20 World Cup.
Misbah’s aggression totally finished and he started playing defensively. Day by day Misbah got out of form but selectors gave him many chances to get his form back but he was not successful. Misbah is 37 years old.
In today’s era cricket is getting fast day by day but our captain defensive approach is on its peak because of Misbah’s defensive approach Pakistan lost the semi final of 2011Cricket World Cup. Misbah has no century ODIs and T20 career.
We need an aggressive captain as well as aggressive player like Shahid Afridi. I think Misbah is a player of only test cricket otherwise his age and his defensive approach does not allow him to play T20 and ODI cricket. Even my opinion is that Misbah should retire from international cricket and give a chance to other youngsters.
