Pakistan Test captain Misbahul Haq explained his previous comment regarding the national side which toured Australia in 1999.
After the loss in Sydney Test, the 42-year-old was asked if he considered the current side was the best team which toured Australia. In response, Misbah said that Pakistan’s 1999 team was the best one.
However, he faced criticism over his remark given that side also met with a 3-0 whitewash in the Test series.

Clarifying his position, Misbah took to Twitter and said that he did not intend to malign his seniors nor was he trying to use it as an excuse for Pakistan’s recent defeat.
