imageMisbah-ul-Haq, who widely known as ‘Tuk Tuk’ is one of the consistent players of Pakistan team, his calm approach and sensible captaincy led Pakistan into the quarter final of ICC Cricket World Cup 2015.

While giving an exclusive interview at local channel, Misbah-ul-Haq gave replies on the criticism of former players and raised questions on their criticism. He said while criticizing on my batting, people usually forgets the fragility of Pakistan’s batting lineup.

He thinks that the whole team depends upon him, he said It’s not his fault that he had to be over cautious because in the game against South Africa, when he got out the whole team got out in 5overs.

He also gave comment about some former players who criticized him throughout the World Cup 2015. He recalled the comment of his last press conference and said, "Some people really need to learn manners. I have always respected current and former players but last press conference I said all that because I was very disappointed”.

According to local media reports, Misbah further added, "A guy who scores 350 runs in 7 matches in the tournament like myself, people talk about kicking him out but the rest of the 5 batsmen do nothing and do not get criticized?. Some former cricketers are always criticizing me. Is it because the TV channel is asking him to do that, or whether it's a personal agenda against me?. Will I still get blamed if the batting flops after my retirement?”.

Former ODI captain also recommended that Pakistan needs to send batsmen to play grade cricket in Australia or domestic in England. He hoped to see good international cricket in Pakistan.
