Well done, Misbah
It is time now for Misbah's critics to finally acknowledge his achievements and give him the recognition he deserves

Misbah has a quiet demeanour, a calm temperament and a never-say-die attitude that have served him well. The one criticism that can be levelled against him is that the team’s exploits under him outside the favourable environs of the UAE leave a lot to be desired. However, he has led Pakistan admirably during some incredibly tough times. Misbah now must have the World Cup in his sights and Pakistan’s performance at the mega event might decide his future in the game. At 40 years of age, he does not have a long road to travel and might never get the opportunity of testing his leadership skills in England, Australia or India in Test matches. But he is set to leave behind a legacy of his own. He has often been the target of harsh criticism, sometimes unfairly. It is time now for his critics to finally acknowledge his achievements and give him the recognition he deserves.
