National team to seek Imran Khan's advice for World Cup 2015: Misbahul Haq
Speaking during a presentation ceremony of the trophy for World Cup 2015 at the Minar-e-Pakistan ground in Lahore, Haq said he meets former cricketing giant Imran often and that the superstar guides him well.
The trophy will travel to 12 countries over a period of four months before reaching Melbourne, Australia.
The team captain said that Pakistan have given surprises to many teams in the past and have won many matches even though the team no longer has players like Imran, Wasim Akram, Aqib Javed, Javed Miandad and Mushtaq Ahmed.
"In the last series, the team's performance was not good and we have to bring our performance back on track," he added.
"We will try to make a strong comeback in the World Cup," Haq said about his squad which will play its opening match against traditional rival and defending champion India in Adelaide on February 15.

Imran Khan may advice the team to sit on a dharna on the field if umpires give bad decisions and not leave the ground till the match is decided by ICC to be replayed.
Misbah should seek advice from one of the greatest Pakistanis of all time: Waqar Zaka. Imran Khan seems to be doing the same.
We wish you good luck but in case you lose come home. Don't follow Imran Khan, who have lost but is not vacating field for other teams.
As Imran says "don't afraid to lose" just go with attitude of champions. Keep the team united, help youngsters, motivate them and last but not the least pray to Almighty Allah for success.
Yes why not made Imran captain of Pakistan team again. You spineless person show some courage and decision making skills of your own rather then bagging to IK.
I think Imran khan needs misbah's help than otherway round.
That is exactly what Imran Khan should have been doing all along ......nothing else
Both misbah and Khan, troubel for Pakistan. One does dharna and another does drama. We remember misbah when you lost T20 winning Final match against india by playing stupid shot. N 1999 worldcup was the best with respect to performance for Pakistan ever, so Wasim akram should be consulted if you real want success..!!
Burnool to the hearts of PMLN Trolls
No matter how hard you try to defame IK as an immature politician, working on a script, backed by establishment, implementing foreign agenda, derailing democracy, voilating law.
Day by Day IK rises to be more stronger and stronger.
Because he speaks the truth and he is a true leader.
All the united Status Qou witnessed the voice of one man daring them, one man who is Imran Khan.
He lives in our heart.
His advise will be of great value to you Misbah
Inshallah!
IK's advise for World Cup: "After loosing the Cup, declare there was rigging. Camp outside the ICC office (in a container) and demand resignation of ICC Chief and that the Cup should be handed over to Pakistan team."
Indians should not be allowed to make degrading comments. They should watch their own team sliding performance and restrain their insincere advisory.
I think he should also consult Nawaz Sharif on how to buy umpires, something he did regularly while playing in Lahore Gymkhana
On the contrary, Imran in the past has severely criticized Hafeez's and Misbah's captaincy, saying that "both these captains are too defensive and try to win matches by stopping runs, while i tried winning matches by taking wickets"
if anyone wants to know where misbah will take us in the cup - just go back and see the ICC champions trophy 2013 - Pak were thrown out winless. we need a captain like afridi - despite his drawbacks he is aggressive and leads from the front, unlike misbah who scores selfish 50s
Misbah has been involved with cricket for a long time now. If he and the cricket team still do not know what their shortcomings are, then they have a major problem. And no amount of advice from anybody at the eleventh hour will fix it. How about playing like a cohesive unit and improving your fielding for starters.
Imran Khan's advice would be to do a dharna in front of PCB office.
May be Misbah can borrow Imran's container if he is done with it by 2015
Good Move Misbah! If you're going to take IK advice in the game, no wonder your team can surprise us..its definitely worth taking his advice.
Give dharna at ICC headquarters in solidarity for ajmal :p
He is trying to derail the democracy!
