Pakistan Vs England

Pakistan lost the ODI series to England4-0, after having beaten them in the Tests.

Former players rallied round Pakistan captain Misbah-ul Haq on Wednesday despite his side's miserable showing in the 4-0 one-day series battering by England.

Pakistan failed to carry the momentum of their 3-0 Test whitewash of England in the UAE into the one dayers, losing all four games to suggest they will be susceptible  to their rivals in the Twenty20 series starting on Thursday.

England strolled to a four-wicket win in the fourth game in Dubai on Tuesday, with Kevin Pietersenhitting a second successive hundred.

The sudden slump in form prompted former captain Imran Khan  to bemoan a lack of depth in Pakistan's squad.

But the legendary allrounder backed captain Misbah-ul Haq to continue as skipper in the short form of the game, having already led a remarkable revival of the Test side.

Khan rejected the suggestion the side would be better served by separate captains for the three forms of the game.

Former spinner Iqbal Qasim also backed Misbah, urging critics to give him time to turn around the side's one-day fortunes.

Qasim said Pakistan must choose specialists for Tests and limited overs.
