Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq became the oldest Test centurion in 82 years at England's famous Lord's cricketing ground, he cheekily dropped to his hands and knees and did 10 push-ups in quick succession as a nod to the training the team had received at an army boot camp.
The 42-year-old, whose ton was all the more impressive as this was also his first-class innings at the home of cricket, shot off a salute before he got on all fours.
"That was my promise to the army guys," Misbah said at a press conference after the match, referring to the unusual celebration.
Questions were raised over the cricket team's unusual celebrations during the meeting, as the lawmaker wondered why Misbah and his men did push-ups.
"What message are Misbah-ul-Haq and other players giving to the world by doing push-ups?
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Executive Committee Chairman Najam Sethi earlier told the meeting that cricket players 'had been stopped' from performing push-ups after winning matches.
