Pakistan seamer Kashif Ali has lauded Mohammad Asif, saying he is a big fan of his swing bowling.
Asif has consistently been described as one of the toughest bowlers to face when he was playing for the men in green as he could move the ball both ways.
He also kept hitting an impeccable line and length, which troubled batsmen even more.
Asif represented his country in 23 Tests and took 106 wickets at an average of 24.36.
He also featured in 38 ODIs and claimed 46 wickets at an average of 33.13.
As for his T20I career, the Sheikhupura native snapped up 13 wickets in 11 matches at an average of 26.38.
“I liked Mohammad Asif’s swing bowling,” Kashif told PakPassion.
Kashif did not play in the 2025 Pakistan Super League (PSL) as he was representing Kent in the County Championship in England.
In six matches, the 31-year-old has taken 11 wickets at an average of 58.54.
Since he has been playing county cricket in England, Kashif did not feature in Pakistan’s three-match T20I series against Bangladesh in Lahore, which they won 3-0.
He also wasn’t picked for the tour of Bangladesh, where the men in green lost the T20I series 2-1.
Pakistan are now touring the West Indies for three T20Is and three ODIs.
The men in green won the T20I series 2-1.
The ODI series will get underway on August 9 in Trinidad.
