Old is gold
Misbah (42 years and 47 days) - the oldest captain in history to score a hundred in Tests, beating Bob Simpson (41y 359d) vs Ind in 1978.

Age is just a number, isn’t it?
For Leander Peas & Misbah-ul-Haq there is still a life in sports after 40! #lifeafter40

Is it 'Misbhazor'?
Pokemon Go launched today in UK looks like Pakistan found really good Pokémon and trained well then named as Misbah...
