Misbah becomes first Pakistani to play 50 matches as Test captain
Skipper Misbah-ul-Haq made history on Friday, becoming the first Pakistani to play 50 matches as Test captain as he walked onto Hagley Oval ground in Christchurch for a toss against the Kiwis during the second day of the Test series against New Zealand.
The 42-year-old was named Test captain after a spot fixing scandal in England in 2010. He famously blogged about being offered captaincy during a secret meeting in a clerk's office at the Pakistan Cricket Board headquarters in Lahore in the aftermath of the scandal.
