Lahore, Mar 29 : Pakistan  captain Misbahul Haq says he has changed his batting style and he would continue to play in one-day internationals.




Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, Misbahul Haq, who is presently facing criticisms  after his time was whitewashed 3-0 on the test series and lost 2-3 in the ODI series in Africa, said he would now adopt a more aggressive style in batting.

“I have discussed this with all my players and they all agreed that overall we all needed to be more positive while batting and put aside fears of losing our wicket,” Misbah said.

“They have all pushed me to play more shots and be more positive. I have no intentions of returning to play T20s for Pakistan. I have changed my batting style because I believe I can continue to play ODIs which I don't want to quit now.”

Misbah, 38,has been Pakistan's test captain since 2010 and ODI skipper since 2011.

The Pakistani captain said: “I have heard what the critics have had to say. It has fired me up and also made me reassess how I can play a more purposeful role for my team as a batsman and for myself” .
