Misbah was presented with the Spirit of Cricket and Geo News Lifetime Achievement awards in a star-studded PCB annual awards ceremony on Thursday night.

However, Afridi, who had also been invited to the ceremony, did not attend the event, giving rise to speculations of a tussle between the board and the player.

Afridi last played for Pakistan in 2016. Misbah quit international cricket after the Caribbean series in May this year.
