Ok I know there are a lot of haters, but here are the facts.
1. In the CL T20 he was by far the best Faisalabad Wolves player scoring half their runs.
2. He was the best player in the Faysal Bank T-20 domestic tournament:

3. He has been by far our best international batsman in the last 12 months.
4. Misbah no longer being the captain can play a lot more freely. Have the license to hit rather than try to carry the team.
5. I know he is on longer the captain, but Pakistan won 6 out of their 8 (75%) of their matches when he was captain. So he was doing something right there!
6. Yes his SR is not the highest, but he has the best average of Pakistani batsman in T20I

You dont need everyone going bonkers. The ball is going to turn in Bangladesh need someone who can score runs consistently.
If we take our hater goggles off and our only aim is to take the best players to the T20 world Cup, it is very hard to argue against Misbah being in the team.
