"During the fifth over of England innings, when Pakistan were bowling their Powerplay overs and had conceded 40-45 runs, the camera kept showing Misbah and he had his hands on his head, which suggested that something really bad happened," Inzamam said in his Youtube channel.
Naseem Shah is a part of the formidable-looking Pakistani pace attack for the three-match series against England, all set to be played from Wednesday.
The PCB has granted Test captaincy to senior batsman Azhar Ali, while it is Babar Azam who has been given the captaincy of limited-overs team.
Sohail also said that Misbah's past record of being a tad too defensive as a skipper may make him a bad mentor for somebody like a Babar Azam.
Misbah was speaking at a media conference in Lahore to announce the 16-member squad for the two-Test home series against Sri Lanka.
Pakistan head coach-cum-chief selector Misbah-ul-Haq said that the form of some of the main players in the team is a major cause for concern.
The partnership helped Kohli and Rahane surpass Pakistan's Inzamam-ul-Haq and Mohammad Yousuf, Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar, Mahela Jayawardene and Thilan Samaraweera to become the duo with the second-most runs for the fourth wicket in Test cricket.
Pakistan are going into the series with a pace attack that consists of Mohammad Abbas, Shaheen Afridi, Muhammad Musa and the 16-year-old Naseem Shah
Imran, who is also the patron-in-chief of the Pakistan Cricket Board and one of the most successful captains in the national team's history, also hailed the appointment of Misbah-ul-Haq as the head coach.
