Pakistan receives Test mace for No. 1 ranking

Misbah-ul-Haq, Pakistan's Test captain, has expressed confidence in international cricket

returning to the country soon, and said it was ironic his team's rise to No. 1

in the ICC rankings had to be accomplished without home-crowd support.

The ICC Test table :

1 Pakistan (111 rating points)
2 India (110)
3 Australia (108)
4 England (108)
5 New Zealand (99)
6 Sri Lanka (95)
7 South Africa (92)
8 West Indies (67)
9 Bangladesh (57)
10 Zimbabwe (8)

"There is nothing better than being No. 1 in the Test rankings," Misbah said.

"It's one of the best days in my life; the happiest day in my cricketing career.

And there can't be a better location to receive the ICC Test Championship mace

than this ground where we last played a home Test seven years ago.

It is ironic for both the players as well as the fans that the journey

to the No. 1 position has been outside Pakistan"

Shabash, Pakistan Zindabad !

               

The ICC chief executive David Richardson presented Misbah with the Test mace

on Wednesday at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore !!

Congratulations, indeed !

I'm not sure which is more mesmerizing: the mace or Misbah's beard.
