His performance video of this match was also shared among cricket fans on Facebook, YouTube. Many also demanded that he should be selected for Pakistan team.
Asif last played cricket international cricket in 2010 and after his ban he has shown some good performances in Domestic Cricket. it is sure that he can play ODI and T20I for 2 years and can help Pakistan bowling a lot.
However Pakistan fast bowlers are doing good job and Asif has to perform consistently in domestic to get back in international team.
People comments on Asif’s performance:
- Very unfortunate that he was involved in such activities which caused his ouster, otherwise he was brilliant.
- A super class bowler but third class person.
- Still so smooth and lovely to watch. 11 wickets in the match.
- He needs to be in the national team. If Aamir can be pardoned why not him?
- Should never come back in the team… completely different case to Aamir as he was senior bowler in the side and Aamir was very young.
