Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan believes that it would be difficult to find players of Misbah-ul-Haq's caliber after the skipper announced his retirement from the one-day internationals following the conclusion of the World Cup.

Shaharyar said that they respect Misbah's decision to retire, adding that it was sad that a player of his calibre would leave one-day cricket, the Dawn reported.

Describing Misbah as a brilliant star, he further said that it would be hard to find mature and decent player like him.

Misbah, who made his ODI debut in 2002, has scored 4,669 runs at an average of 42.83 in 153 ODIs, and captained Pakistan in 78 games. He has played 29 Twenty20 internationals, the most recent of which was 2012.
