While the Green Army continue to perform well in the shorter formats of the game, their Test results haven't been the best.

Misbah's calm and cerebral approach to captaincy along with his intense patriotism have made him the most successful Test captain Pakistan have ever had. Misbah has led Pakistan in 46 test matches, winning 22, losing 13 with 11 draws.

He peaked really late in his career and was most effective with the bat after the age of 35. In total, he played 75 Tests for Pakistan and has scored 5222 runs at an average of 46.62 with 39 half centuries and ten centuries to his name.
