Harare: Pakistan men’s team head coach Misbah-ul-Haq has hinted at the return of senior cricketers in the upcoming tour of England.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 46-year-old Misbah talked to reporters virtually from Harare and talked on various expects after Pakistan defeated Zimbabwe by 2-0 in the Test series.<\/p>\n

“The series against England would be the last to try out combination. After that, we will finalize the squad that will potentially play the T20 World Cup,” Misbah said.<\/p>\n

“The tour of England won’t be easy and the option of bringing back seniors would also come under consideration,” he added.<\/p>\n

“We are just concerned about our middle-order in white-ball cricket. We have to do something in that regard,” he maintained.<\/p>\n

Misbah also turned down the notion that the management doesn’t provide chances to the youngsters while also emphasized that older players can also play if fit.<\/p>\n

“In our country, it seems like that a young man is sixteen years old. Or a player gets old at the age of twenty? How many old players are there in the current Pakistan team?,” he asked the critics.<\/p>\n

“Both the captain and the vice-captain are young. We have provided ample chances to young players,” he added.<\/p>\n

“Despite overage, if a player is fit, he can play Test cricket. Older players must be given a chance to play as performances, fitness and requirement of the team matters, not the age,” he maintained.<\/p>\n
