Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq said batsman Asif Ali has to be in the middle order since his batting has improved.
His comments come after Asif was included in Pakistan’s team for the T20 World Cup.
Currently, the 30-year-old is playing for Northern in the National T20 Cup, where he has been in good 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.
“I have seen him in the PSL (Pakistan Super League) and KPL (Kashmir Premier League), there is an improvement in his batting. So I think he should be in the middle order,” Inzamam said on his YouTube channel as quoted by ARY Sports.
Pakistan will kick off their T20 World Cup campaign against India on October 24 in Dubai.
