Shahid Afridi Congratulates Misbah-ul-Haq On Winning ICC Spirit of Cricket Award

Former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi has congratulated Misbah-ul-Haq after the Test skipper became the first Pakistani player to win International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Spirit of Cricket Award on Thursday for inspiring his team to rise to the pinnacle of Test cricket for the first time ever since the ranking was introduced.

Afridi took to Twitter to wish Misbah. Calling the 42-yea- old an evergreen youngster, the explosive batsman tweeted:” Richly deserved #ICCAward for our own captain cool @captainmisbahpk. Evergreen youngster ? You make us proud.”

Misbah, who led his team to a 2-2 draw in Test series in England to help his team move to the top of the rankings, expressed his delight over receiving the award.

He said: “To lift the Test mace earlier this year and now this in the twilight of my career, is a message for every athlete that age is not a barrier as long as the sportsperson maintains highest fitness levels and continues to perform up to international standards.

“As a team, we have focused on playing within the rich traditions of the sport with a positive mindset and approach so that we can entertain the spectators and fans, and at the same time, challenge the oppositions,” he concluded.
