Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq will miss the second Test in Hamilton, as he returns to Pakistan following the death of his father-in-law. Batsman Azhar Ali will lead the side in Misbah absence, the Pakistan Cricket Board has announced.Misbah and his family, who were also in Christchurch, had received news of his father-in-law being admitted to intensive care early on Sunday morning. They will make the trip back to Pakistan together. Misbah had only briefly taken the field during New Zealands chase, and is scheduled to leave the country on Sunday evening.His departure is a significant blow to Pakistan. Apart from having led the team in 50 Tests, Misbah has been a middle-order rock, never averaging less than 40 across the six most recent calendar years.Misbahs been exceptional throughout the years and well miss him definitely, Azhar said following the loss in the first Test at Hagley Oval. We have to cope with that now and whoever comes into the side will take that opportunity and give us runs, as well as the stability he gives us in the middle.No replacement has yet been named to the squad, but Misbahs place in the XI is likely to be filled by either Mohammad Rizwan or Sharjeel Khan, who are the extra batsmen with the squad in New Zealand.Misbah had previously missed only one Test since he was appointed captain in 2010: he was unavailable for a 2012 Test in Galle, due to a suspension for slow over-rates. He had made scores of 31 and 13 in the Christchurch Test.Cheap Yeezy China . Deulofeu injured a muscle in his right leg in Evertons 4-1 win over Fulham in the English Premier League on Saturday.

The captains are leading it well. Very relaxed. Theres nothing having to be contrived here to create things.The teams most prominent co-captain, Michael Phelps, was the big draw Saturday for the near-capacity crowd at the Georgia Tech aquatic center.Phelps has said he will retire after his fifth Olympics, and fans started lining up at 5 a.m., over six hours before the team walked onto the deck.Phelps occasionally waved and smiled during the nearly three-hour workout, but mostly kept to himself. Despite doing no interviews with reporters, his influence was felt everywhere.We were talking about it at dinner the other day without him, said womens co-captain Allison Schmitt, a three-time Olympian. People didnt know anything (about swimming before Phelps). It was embarrassment to be a swimmer. No young boy was a swimmer. Now theres probably more guys in the sport than there is girls. He has definitely changed it a lot and he will continue to change it a lot past his retirement.The most decorated athlete in the history of the games, Phelps will try to add to his 18 golds and 22 overall medals before he retires for the second time. He won the 100-meter butterfly, the 200 fly and the 200 individual medley at the U.S. Olympic trials r this month in Nebraska.His personal coach, U.S. mens coach Bob Bowman, saiid Phelps looks as strong as ever.ddddddddddddHe never surprises me anymore, Bowman said. As soon as you think youve seen it all, hell give you something else.Bowman declined to say if the 31-year-old will compete in a relay event.I do know, he said. Im not going to tell you.First-time Olympian Chase Kalisz has known Phelps for several years and says its easy to see why television insisted on starting the finals, which begin next Saturday, so late each night.Phelps means big ratings for NBC.Our sport wouldnt be what is without Michael, Kalisz said. You look at all the coverage we get because of him and all the opportunities we get because of Michael. You look back 20 years ago, and it wasnt like that. There wasnt this kind of excitement. I think hes ready to go out the way he wants to go out and close that chapter on his own terms. I think it will be good for him.The team has already adapted to a new sleep schedule, getting in the pool each night at Georgia Tech at 10 p.m. Thats what time the semifinals will begin in Rio. Some finals could end after midnight.Swimmers have grown accustomed to the uncustomary hours over the last few weeks.Its kind of a college kids dream, said Gunnar Bentz, a first-time Olympian. We get to stay up late and we get to sleep in. Its kind of nice, honestly, but training at 10-11 p.m. is a little weird. You get used to it, but I think will work really well in Rio. ' ' '
