Misbah says England tour won’t be easy


LAHORE : Pakistan cricket team skipper Misbah-ul-haq has said that harder work would be needed to face England in the coming tour, Geo News reported.

Talking to newsmen at the Allama Iqbal International Airport here, he said that Pakistan’s performance in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka was more than satisfactory, which was a heartening thing to note.

He said, doubtless, England were tough cookies, but Pakistan were also alive to the fact that they would have to go extra miles to claim the tour.
