Misbah-ul-Haq scored 350 runs from 7 games in 2015 World Cup

Not often remembered as a star ODI World Cup performer, but Misbah-Ul-Haq had a decent outing in the 2015 World Cup. He scored 350 runs from 7 games at an average of 50. In April 2017, Haq walked away from all forms of international cricket after the three-Test series against West Indies.

"There was no pressure on me. I was planning to quit after the England series in the UAE [in October 2015] but there were some things and I had to carry on playing. But overall it's fine and not like I am under any pressure or somebody has dictated this to me. I have myself understood that this is it and it's purely my own decision,” he had told, confirming his retirement.

The former skipper of all formats, Haq played 75 Tests, 162 ODIs and 39 T20Is for Pakistan.
