Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq was less than impressed with head coach Misbah-ul-Haq’s body language during the T20 series against England.

Inzamam was particularly annoyed with the way Misbah was sitting with his head in his hands during the second T20 International, which Pakistan lost by five wickets.

The ex-chief selector noted that Misbah’s actions gave off the “wrong message” and is similar to what his predecessor Mickey Arthur used to do.

“During the fifth over of England innings, the camera showed Misbah and he had his hands on his head, which suggested that something really bad had happened. You are giving a wrong message by doing these things. If you respond like this during the match, then this will have a bad effect on the team,” Inzamam said in a YouTube video as quoted by Cricket Pakistan.

“Mickey Arthur used to respond in the same way. Whenever I used to talk to players, they used to complain that Arthur’s similar antics affected them negatively. No matter what happens during the match, only positive vibes should go from the dressing room.”
