Misbah set to miss 2nd Test

Captain Misbahul Haq is highly unlikely to be available for second Test against New Zealand in Hamilton on Friday after having to return to Pakistan due to a family illness.

Misbah's father-in-law was critically ill and had been admitted to hospital and placed in intensive care, a Pakistan team spokesman said in an email to Reuters on Sunday.

The 42-year-old was due to leave New Zealand on Sunday evening.
