Pakistan were hammered in both the Tests in New Zealand and also lost the T20I series 1-2. Earlier, the team suffered defeats in Australia and England as well. Speaking at a press conference in Lahore, Misbah-ul-Haq said:
The former player added that the reasons may seem like excuses for poor performances but explained that if the players don’t train for 18-19 days, it does make a significant difference.
Misbah-ul-Haq further said in this regard:
Head coach Misbah-ul-Haq as well as bowling coach Waqar Younis will appear before the PCB’s Cricket Committee on Tuesday to discuss their tenure and team performances.
According to Misbah-ul-Haq, he doesn’t see any credible reason for the board to remove him but admitted that he has no control over what the Cricket Committee decides. The former captain said in this regard:
“Don’t know why Amir said such things about me and Waqar” - Misbah-ul-Haq
Misbah-ul-Haq also opened up about the controversy surrounding pacer Mohammad Amir, who recently retired from international cricket.
Expressing surprise at Amir’s extraordinary outburst against the PCB, Misbah-ul-Haq stated that he would welcome the bowler back in case he was willing to make a comeback. Misbah-ul-Haq said in this regard:
Misbah-ul-Haq reiterated that Mohammad Amir was dropped for the New Zealand tour only because of form and fitness reasons, and that Waqar has nothing to do with the selection of teams.
