Lahore, (ANI): Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Zaka Ashraf has said that he has no plans of changing Misbah ul Haq as the captain of the national team.

“We did not decide about the selection of the captain,” The Nation quoted him, as saying.

Ashraf also stressed that Pakistan is a safe country for hosting international cricket and promised to provide a head-of-state like security for visiting countries.
