Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Shaharyar Khan considers Misbahul Haq a better captain than World Cup-winning skipper Imran Khan.
Geo TV reported that Shaharyar, who was appearing before the National Assembly Standing Committee on Inter-Provincial Coordination on Thursday, said that Misbah is a much better captain than Imran but was quick to acknowledge that the latter is a much bigger political personality.
“Misbah is a much better captain than Imran Khan, although Imran is a much bigger political personality,” he said. “I respect Misbah as a person and am really impressed by what he has achieved as a captain, and his statistics and wins are testament to that.”
Shaharyar further talked about the successful staging of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) final in Lahore and said that it has played a huge part in convincing foreign players to come to play in Pakistan, something he believes will pave the way for the return of international cricket to the country.
