DUBAI: Pakistan's cricket team put its numerous problems behind them through consistent performances as they wiped out the world's best team England 3-0 with captain Misbah-ul-Haq aiming to move on to further heights.
The victory, Misbah believes, will help Pakistan move on.
"It's a wonderful win but the most important thing in any sport or life is that whatever you achieve it goes in the past. If you stuck with it you can't move ahead and improve," said Misbah after beating England by 71 runs in the third Test.
Pakistan's resurgence is not only surprising but praiseworthy as they have not lost a Test series, winning nine of the 15 Tests, with one defeat and five draws - all under Misbah.
Moreover, there have been no problems off the field, something which have consistently derailed Pakistan's on-field progress.
Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja showered huge praise on the players.
"Sky is the limit for them because this wasn't an easy series. Now this win will help this team build in confidence," said Raja, who warned against complacency.
Misbah acknowledges the challenge of playing well on away tours.
"Only time will tell what you can achieve or what you can do. We just want to do well and that's what we are aiming for and youngsters are coming up, Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq, Mohammad Hafeez are doing well and seniors are supporting them," said Misbah.
Former captain and coach Waqar Younis also praised Misbah
"We have been ignored for quite some time, but our performance will help us get better scheduling and respect," said Misbah.
