Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq said if Asif Ali can score runs in three out of five games, then he is “doing extremely well”.
His comments come after Asif was included in Pakistan’s squad for the T20 World Cup.
Currently, the 30-year-old is representing Northern in the National T20 Cup, where he has been in solid form.
In the seven games he has played, he has scored 124 runs at an average of 31 and a strike-rate of 174.64.
“If he can score in three games out of five, that means he is doing extremely well,” Inzamam said on his YouTube channel as quoted by ARY Sports.
Pakistan will begin their T20 World Cup campaign against India on October 24 in Dubai.

Babar & Rizwan don’t open tha inning bcz they’re middle order position batsman our middle order already weak. genuine opner Sharjeel & Fakhar already not part of squad so now M Hafeez & Shoaib Maqsood open the inning babar at no 3 and rizwan should no 4.
Shoaib Malik & M Asif Hitting positions at 5 & 6 and at no 7 position M Nawaz bcz he bowl well from Shahdab & Imad and no 8 allrounder M Waseem no 9 Hassan Ali no 10 Haris Rouf no 11 Shaheen Afridi.
Inzi bhai in that logic..sharjeel should b there in team and openning along fakhar..and if they score 3 times out of 5..then cup is there to take for pakistan..who is better hitter than sharjeel in pakistan..and that too on uae pitches and grounds and then dhani is far better tham waeem jnr
