Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Shaharyar Khan on Wednesday announced that the ongoing tour of the West Indies will be the last for Test captain Misbah-ul-Haq.

Speaking to media at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, the PCB chairman said he had not spoken to Misbah on the matter, but believed that the three-match series held in the Caribbean will be his final one.

"No discussions have been held with Misbah regarding his retirement. However, a consensus has been reached that the test matches against West Indies will be his last series," the chairman said.

Speculation on Misbah's retirement had been sparked by Pakistan's disastrous tours of Australia and New Zealand.

In January, it was announced that senior batsman Azhar Ali would be appointed Test captain after Misbah's retirement as part of "radical changes" required in the national team.

In February, amid severe criticism from media following a whitewash in the Australia and New Zealand series, Misbah had asked the PCB for time to decide on his future.

Emphasising that age should not be a cause for concern, Misbah said he would decide upon his international career after assessing his fitness level during the Pakistan Super League.

In March, the PCB had announced that Misbah would lead the team during the WI Test series after all.
