KARACHI: After axing Misbah-ul-Haq from the national team, Pakistan Cricket Board has now barred him from playing in Bangladesh and instead advised him to concentrate on playing domestic cricket.
Misbah had got an offer to play for a leading Bangladeshi team in their limited overs competition and had sought a clearance from the Cricket Board to play there.
Even though Misbah said that he had not got any response from the Board on his request but sources said PCB actually told him to play in the ongoing Quaid-e-Azam Trophy instead of going abroad to play in a foreign league.
"It was a good offer but I myself feel that right now it is best for me to focus on playing in the Trophy and scoring runs so that I can fight myself back into the team for the tour to Australia later this year," Misbah said.
Misbah, who scored a magnificent double hundred, last week in the country's premier first class tournament, said he was working hard on regaining his place in the national side.
Misbah, 35, said that playing in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy was keeping him active and fit for the coming challenges.
