Amid growing question marks over his future in international cricket, Test skipper Misbah-ul-Haq has decided to call on Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Shehryar Khan within the next couple of days to discuss the issue.

Misbah, whose Islamabad United side lost to Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) on Wednesday, noted that although he is ready for the West Indies series through March and May, captaincy is something which will be decided by the PCB.

"I will meet the PCB chairman in the next two days to discuss my plan," Misbah was quoted as saying by the Dawn newspaper.

"I can only confirm my availability for the upcoming series; however, as far as my career as a captain goes, the board and the chairman will have the last say on that," he maintained.

Pakistan are set to play three Tests, three One-day Internationals and two Twenty20 Internationals on their tour to the Caribbean, starting March 31.
