Islamabad United captain and spinner Shadab Khan said everyone can see how good big-hitting batsman Asif Ali is.
He noted that he, the entire Islamabad United team and the Pakistan side as well all have “complete faith in his abilities”.
The 23-year-old added that people shouldn’t doubt Asif since he is a dangerous player who can win matches by himself.
“We had complete faith in his abilities and they are now on display for everyone to see,” he told Cricket Pakistan.
In the recent season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Asif amassed 137 runs in 12 games at an average of 13.70 and a strike-rate of 130.47.
He and Shadab will be gearing up for the series against Australia, who will be visiting Pakistan for the first time in 24 years and playing three Tests, three ODIs and a one-off T20 International.
The three Tests will be played in Rawalpindi, Karachi and Lahore from March 4 to 25, while the entire limited overs series will be held in Rawalpindi from March 29 to April 5.
