SYDNEY, JAN 07, (DNA) – Pakistan Test Captain Misbah-ul-Haq is not set to retire anytime soon.

In a press conference held on Saturday after Pakistan lost to Australia by 220 runs, Misbah said, “There is a lot of time before I retire. For now there is the one-day series, then there is the Pakistan Super League,” he said.

On December 30, Misbah-ul-Haq said he will decide about his retirement in the next two to three days.

Following Pakistan’s crushing defeat to Australia in the second Test at MCG, a disappointed-looking Misbah said it is time to ‘think’ about his future.

The captain also said he is doubtful about his participation in the third and final Test against Australia in Sydney next week after questioning his recent contribution to the side.

“I need to think about that,” Misbah told reporters when asked if he would play in the Sydney Test starting on Jan. 3.

Misbah scored only 38 runs on the fifth day of the third test on Saturday to sweep the series 3-0 Australia completed a 220-run victory over Pakistan

“(If I´m not contributing) there´s no point in hanging around,” the 42-year-old had said.=DNA
