Misbah, 42, who has never led Pakistan in a Test series against India despite being captain since late 2010, didn't believe that the Indian team didn't want to play against Pakistan.

"They, like us, can't do anything because there are other issues involved here. I am sure when things improve politically there will be cricket between Pakistan and India," he added.

He lamented that young players from both countries were not getting the opportunity to get a feel of Indo-Pak cricket matches, which help them develop as players.

"It is good that we now have our own league (like IPL) and it has been a major success in just two years. I am sure next year there will be more widespread interest in the Pakistan Super League from the people, sponsors and stakeholders."

Misbah, when asked to compare the IPL with PSL, said they were different leagues and that the Indian market for cricket was very different from Pakistan.

"But I feel that since the IPL has now been there since 2007 people's interest in it has dropped. I see more interest in our new league. There is always a saturation point for everything," he said.

"It would have been nice to have been considered for it but whether I would have taken it or not, I am not sure," he said.

"Thinking about it from a personal point of view I would have seriously thought about it. But if I was on the outside looking in I would have thought 'is this actually where the team needs to go, with a 34-year-old as captain?'

Ian Bishop is in the top 5 TV commentators in the world. Doesn't get the credit he deserves.
