ISLAMAAD: Former captain Misbahul Haq called on the nation to support national team, saying that the outfit is facing toughest times.

Misbah, who also captains Islamabad United, was speaking at a function in Islamabad Tuesday. “The cricket team is facing one of the toughest periods. It needs nation’s support and backing,” he said.

He termed the playing conditions in New Zealand as totally different. “Pitches in New Zealand are totally different from what we have here in Asia. Players need to play with brave heart. You have to be smart and attacking to win matches Down Under.”

Misbah hoped that the players would learn a lot from the tour. “They would be in a better state of mind to perform well in future events.”He termed Pakistan Super League (PSL) as most competitive franchise in the world. “Pray and support Islamabad United as we again want to win the title for the city.”
