About Misbah
About his fellow player and captain Misbah-ul-Haq, Afridi said that the retiring Misbah’s performance as a captain was the best in his eyes of any Pakistani skipper.
“He was so consistent a performer”, remarked Afridi.
He revealed that the only issue he had with Misbah was that he was a ‘Shareef Admi (lenient individual) and sometimes some players needed a strict hand which a man like Misbah could not give.
