SL vs PAK: I have not been contacted by PCB as of yet – Misbah-ul-Haq

Misbah-ul-Haq earlier this month mentioned that he has not been contacted by PCB for any role and even if they offer he won’t be able to take that immediately because of his commitments. He had said:

“I have not been contacted by PCB as of yet. When they will contact me, then I will see. I already have a lot of prior commitments, whether it is with leagues or with television channels. It won’t be easy to immediately take up a role with the Pakistan team. I will have to see what role will be offered and whether I would be able to do it or not.”
