Misbah needs aged players in team to have some sort of company from them. U19 & U23 players will look kids in front of Misbah.
This Rahat guy is of no use just like Sohail Tanvir. Rahat could have tried his luck in the field of Music.

Another terrific talent, who will go to waste like other U-19 gems Babar Azam, Hammad Azam, Mansoor Amjad, Shahid Yousaf, just to name a few!
Misbah & co! seem not to care about their legacy but present day gains.The inclusion of Rahat Ali over M. Talha in the current test is a glaring example of Misbah's short sightedness.
