After a fantastic PSL, Asif Ali has been called up to the T20 squad against the Windies

Another possible replacement for Malik is Asif Ali, although it may only be for the shortest format of the game. At the age of 26, Asif has had plenty of time playing top-class cricket and in the 2018 PSL, he had an average of 30, including multiple scores of over 30 and a superb 26 not out from 6 balls in the final against Peshawar Zalmi.

This type of a power hitter is exactly what Pakistan needs in their middle order in T20Is and thus, he may be the ideal replacement for Shoaib Malik. The main question is - Can Asif be a star in ODI cricket as well?
