Misbah-ul-Haq (Urdu: مصباح الحق) (born Misbah-ul-Haq Khan Niazi Urdu: مصباح الحق خان نیازی on May 28, 1974 in Mianwali) is a Pakistani cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a legbreak bowler.
Misbah was initially noticed for his technique and his temperament in the Tri-nation tournament in Nairobi, Kenya in 2002, as he scored two fifties in the three innings in which he played, however, over the next three Tests he played against Australia, he failed to score more than twenty runs and was soon dumped from the team.
Having witnessed Pakistan being eliminated in the opening phase of the World Cup, Misbah was part of the changes made to the team in the aftermath of these results, but failed to make much of an impact and was soon dropped again. His first class average is in the high forties.
