Top 10 Test match run-scorers of the decade

#8 Azhar Ali (Pakistan)- 5,885 runs

Azhar is one of just four Pakistani players to score a Test match triple century

Pakistan cricket has a knack of being very up and down, and this decade has been no different. They started the decade with the spot fixing scandal against England, which saw Mohammed Amir, Mohammed Asif and Salman Butt all banned from all forms of cricket for an extended period of time. However, the decade ended with Pakistan playing Test matches in their home country for the first time since 2009, beating Sri Lanka in Karachi in the second match of the series.

Azhar Ali has been one of the very few constants in the Pakistan side this decade. Since making his debut against Australia at Lord’s in 2010, he has scored 5,885 Test match runs, at an average of a little over 42. That included his highest Test score of 302 not out against the West Indies in Dubai, just the fourth Test match triple century scored by a Pakistani batsman.
