LAHORE, Sept 3: Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik on Wednesday said he had become used to criticism on his captaincy and was now taking it in a positive way.

Talking to reporters here on Wednesday, Malik said many critics had lashed out at his captaincy and most of it was negative criticism, but instead of losing heart and sleep over the matter, he was keen to learn from that and improve his captaincy skills in future assignments.

He said lack of cricket for the national team was greatly disappointing for all the players as well as the spectators.

Pakistan could not play a Test series in the current year and the postponement of the high-profile Champions Trophy till next year further spoiled the matters for the home side.

Malik hopd that the PCB would succeed in arranging an alternate series for the national team very soon.
