Imran a surprise guest at Sports City

Dubai: Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan wants Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq to bat up the order.

Khan, who watched the fourth one-dayer's action from the Royal Box of the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, was mobbed by the media as soon as he came out.

When asked to comment on Pakistan's show, Khan said: "Haq should bat up the order. Only then he can settle down and play his shots. We are wasting him by him coming down the order."

Captain's form

When asked whether like England, Pakistan too would need separate captains for Test and one-day cricket, Khan said: "I don't believe in it. As long as he is a successful captain he should be retained as captain for all three forms of the game. However, [the] form of the captain is very vital."

England introduced two 20-year-old cricketers Danny Briggs and Jos Buttler into international cricket yesterday. Briggs is a promising left-arm spinner while Buttler is a fine wicketkeeper batsman.
