Misbah-ul-Haq is featured on the front page of The National Sport edition on Sunday after the Pakistan Test captain played a brilliant, unbeaten knock of 61 against Lahore Qalandars in Dubai on Saturday evening.
Misbah, who is also leader of the Islamabad United franchise, played a valiant knock in vain as his side were beaten by six wickets in the Pakistan Super League Twenty20 tournament. The defeat only made things worse for Islamabad, three of whose players are under investigation for alleged corrupt practices.
