Former Pakistan skipper Aamir Sohail believes that his country has no replacement for current Test skipper Misbah-ul Haq at the moment, who is mulling retirement from the format.

Sohail further urged Misbah to put his retirement plans on hold and go ahead with next year's tour against England, PakPassion.net reported.

The 49-year-old said that Misbah should not consider quitting if he is fit and delivering well.

Lavishing praise on Misbah, Sohail said that the former took the job of captaincy when the Pakistan were facing a spot-fixing scandal, and added that he had a great career as a skipper.

Sohail, however, insisted that it was a high time that the current skipper should point out the mistakes committed by the PCB and the selection committee.

Misbah had also served as an ODI captain until his retirement from that format after the World Cup 2015.
