Misbah-ul-Haq feels his captaincy is still in danger, says Mohsin Khan – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972 feels a sense of insecurity over his captaincy, despite the team performing well over the past year.
In an exclusive interview on Geo Super, he explained that the critics will question his ability to lead the team, if the side fails to achieve the right results in future games.
Mohsin however, put his weight behind the Captain, opining that such apprehensions in Misbah’s mind may affect the performance of the team, and for this reason, he urged the pundits to stand by Misbah.
"I think you have to understand that at his age, he still worries about the fact that if he fails in one or two matches the critics will be after him and he could be dropped. But he has gained in confidence as a captain and I have been trying to tell him
to not think about these things and just focus on doing what he is doing best at the moment," Mohsin said when asked about Misbah’s defensive approach as a skipper.
The experienced batsman took over the captaincy of all formats of the game earlier this year. Since his appointment, Pakistan has won back to back Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747. In the recent history of Pakistani cricket, Misbah
can be regarded as one of the most successful skippers.
In his short captaincy stint, he has yet to taste defeat in the 12 Tests he has stood as Captain. He also skippered http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 in 14 One Day Internationals and 5 T20Is.

"He has also quickly picked up the confidence to push for victories plus he is batting extremely well. I just tell him just go out and get runs and don't waste any innings," added the former Test cricketer.
