Imran Farhat on 10 and Fawad Alam on 0 are at the crease for the tourists. This match could be a good eposure for young Umar Akmal who is lining up for a Test Match Debut at Dunedin.

Pak’s New Skipper Yousuf wants Misbah in New Zealand

Pakistan’s new Test Captain – Mohammad Yousuf has expressed his desire to have Misbah-ul-Haq to join the squad for the 3-Test Series in New Zealand. Misbah-ul-Haq who was dropped from the Pakistan Squad in all the three formats of the game gets a possible chance to comeback into the team following Younis Khan’s exit recently. Younis had asked the PCB to give him a break after leading the side to a 1-2 defeat in the Cool and Cool Cup ODIs against New Zealand in Abu Dhabi.

Pakistan already has a 17-man squad in New Zealand but their middle order looks brittle with only Skipper Mohammad Yousuf having significant amount of experience. Misbah is most likely to be flown in although the PCB has maintained that no decision has been taken yet regarding Younis Khan’s withdrawal. Misbah is fresh with a score of 284 which he made last month in the ongoing Quaid-i-Azam Trophy. Most likely Pakistan will not be having the services of Misbah-ul-Haq for the first Test at Dunedin which begins on the 24th as the Selection Committee and the PCB is not expected to come to a decision until this weekend.
