Misbah plans to quit international cricket next year


Pakistan's Middle order batsman Misbah-ul-Haq plans to retire from international cricket at the end of next year if the national selecting committee continue to neglect him. Misbah was dropped for the ongoing tour of England in replacement for youngsters Azhar Ali and Umar Amin. Misbah's central contract with the PCB expires in December. "I know luck is not favouring me these days and with the youngsters making their way into the squad, I was forced to think again," Misbah told the Express Tribune. Misbah made his Pakistan debut in 2001, but he wasn't a regular member of the squad until the ICC World Twenty20 in 2007, where he emerged as a dangerous Twenty20 batsman. A loss of form left no choice for the selectors but to drop him from the squad for the tours of Newzealand and Australia. Now will Misbah get a recall from the PCB for the upcoming tour of England and the tour of Abu Dhabi against South Africa?
