Misbah-ul-Haq joins Pakistan team in NZ
By BV Swagath on Monday, 30th November 2009
Reliable middle order batsman Misbah-ul-Haq has arrived in New Zealand today to join the Pakistan team ahead of the second Test at Wellington on the 3rd of December.
Misbah-ul-Haq is the replacement of Skipper Younis Khan who had opted out of the NZ tour following a disastrous Cool and Cool Cup Series in Abu Dhabi. Pakistan now has as many as 18 players in its Test Squad.
The 35-year-old Misbah-ul-Haq will most probably get into the playing XI straightaway and making way for him could be either Khurram Manzoor or Imran Farhat. There is a lot of pressure on Pakistan to win the second Test at Basin Reserve after losing the first Test at Dunedin by 32 runs.
