Misbah Ul Haq lead as a Pakistan Captain against West Indies.
Misbah-ul-Haq will lead Pakistan against West Indies in Test next month.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced that the 42-year-old Misbah will continue to lead Pakistan in the three-match Test series against West Indies scheduled from 22nd April.
Shaharyar Khan, the board's chairman, said: "Misbah has told me that he is available for the test series in the West Indies and that will be conveyed to the selection committee that he will be the captain."
Misbah added: "I am committed to the Pakistan Test team and that's why I've made myself available."
"We as a team will do our best to lift ourselves from the slump which we've had by losing six Tests on the trot," referring to a slide that began when Pakistan lost a Test to the West Indies last November, followed by Antipodean whitewashes.
The PCB said in a statement that Misbah has conveyed his availability for the tour to Board Chairman Shaharyan Khan.
"The Chairman has also approved the appointment of Sarfaraz Ahmad as vice-captain of the Pakistan Test side" it added.
From April 22, the three-match series tour will start.
The tour also includes four Twenty20 and three One-day International (ODI) starting from March 26 but Misbah will not be a part of those matches having already retired from both the formats.
Later this week, Pakistan selectors are due to announce a limited over squad.
After Pakistan were loss 3-0 against Australia - their fourth straight white-wash in Australia since 1999 - former players including Wasim Akram and Rameez Raja said it was time for for him to quit.
Misbah is the most successful captain, having led the country in 53 of his 72 Tests. Under his captaincy the team have won 24 and lost 18 matches with the remaining 11 drawn.
