Misbah To Remain Captain for Asia Cup

The Pakistan Cricket Board has indicated that it has no plan to sack under fire captain Misbah ul Haq and he will be retained as Pakistan's captain in all three formats for the time being.

"Misbah is going to be retained as captain for the Asia Cup and there are no immediate plans to sack him as captain of the one-day or T20 squads," a PCB official was quoted as saying.

"All this talk about Misbah being replaced as captain for limited overs cricket is not correct. So far he is captain for all three formats and this issue is not even on the agenda of the governing board meeting that is due to be held on March 1," the official added.

The official also said that Dav Whatmore would reach Pakistan in the first week of Lahore while the team will fly out for the Asia Cup on March 7.
