“Fakhar is dangerous as compared to all the other selected batsmen in all three formats. I know his performances were not good in the previous matches but keeping in mind that his style of play is different, he must be given confidence again,” Inzamam said in a YouTube video as quoted by Cricket Pakistan.

Inzi is spot on. Fakhar is a game changer plus he bats like that because he is told to otherwise he can put his personal interest like Harris and hafeez and bat slow to keep his place in the team but he puts team first and he is definitely second best batsman after babar in the country I would say. And yes he should be playing all three formats because soon he will become our David Warner
