Pakistan's head coach Misbah-ul-Haq has hailed his team's 2-0 Test series win over South Africa as a much-needed boost for the country's cricket. It was Pakistan's first Test series win over the Proteas since 2003. Talking to the media on Tuesday, Misbah said the series against South Africa was very important after the poor performance of the team in New Zealand. "This series was very important for us as we had a very poor series in New Zealand and what is satisfactory is that the team showed grit and each player played his part in the series win," he said. Before the series, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had made it clear that a defeat was not acceptable against South Africa.
