"I don't want to confine myself to only playing Test matches. I know I am good enough for all three formats and I am looking forward to leading Pakistan in Twenty20 World Cup," Misbah said amidst speculations that the PCB and new coach Dav Whatmore wanted to have separate teams for the three formats and were looking at Shoaib Malik to lead the Twenty20 side.

He also rejected suggestions that he batted slowly in the limited overs cricket.

"These allegations that I am a slow player are ridiculous because I bat according to the situation of the match and that is what every good batsman will do," Misbah was quoted as saying by 'Express' newspaper.

Misbah, despite leading Pakistan to many Test, ODI and Twenty20 victories in the last one year, has been criticised for being too slow and defensive and critics believe he is better off just playing Test cricket.

Misbah, who turns 38 next month, said that he did not come under pressure because of what people said about his batting style.
