Pakistan's Test and One-day captain, Misbah-ul-Haqtoday insisted that he has no plans to retire from the limited-overs format inthe near future.
"I have no intentions to quit playing one-dayers as Ifeel I still have a lot of cricket left in me. But yes, I have now changed myentire approach to batting to prolong my career," Misbah told reporters atthe Gaddafi stadium.
Misbah has been criticised for his slow batting andcaptaincy and there have been renewed calls for his retirement after Pakistanwas swamped 0-3 in the Test series in South Africa and lost the one-day rubber2-3.
But, today, Misbah showed he was capable of changing gearsas he smashed an unbeaten 44-ball 85 to lead Faisalabad Wolves into thesemifinals of the Super Eights T20 event.
Misbah admitted the criticism fired him up to show hisdetractors that he could still play the shorter format of the game.
"I spoke to my players and we all agreed that I shouldbat more aggressively and play more shots without being worried about losing mywicket," he said.
"I have personally also reassessed my career andbatting and decided it is better for me to bat more positively and play moreshots as this will be more beneficial for me and my team," he added.
