Misbah's 'Mental Torture'

PAKISTAN cricket's endless parade of controversies and scandal has made playing for the national team akin to "mental torture", according to captain Misbah-ul-Haq.

"It is a mental torture to go through such things and it affects your performance," the 37-year-old batsman Misbah told a TV channel. "It is bad for Pakistan cricket and people taunt us at home and abroad."

Since appointed test captain in October after Salman Butt was banned for spot-fixing during last year's test series against England, Misbah has led a team dogged by corruption allegations and political in-fighting.
