Shoaib Malik should be selected in Pakistan’s T20I squad as he knows how to bat right until the end, former batsman Mudassar Nazar said.
The men in green are in need of batsmen with this skill, especially in situations where they suffer batting collapses.
With many of the other batsmen they have tried not being able to handle the pressure, Mudassar wants the selectors to give 40-year-old Malik another chance.
It should be noted that Malik last played international cricket in November 2021.
“They take the innings deep and Malik knows how to bat till the end, he has been doing this in franchise cricket,” he told Cricket Pakistan.
