Top 5 Replacements for Shoaib Malik

Haris Sohail

Haris Sohail impressed in the Sri Lanka test series and in the New Zealand tour

The most likely candidate to replace Shoaib Malik is Haris Sohail. It seems the most reasonable and likely switch as both of them are consistent middle order batsmen who can chip in with some off-spin bowling and have enough international experience to rely on when in poor form.

Haris Sohail made a name for himself in 2015 with some fantastic performances batting at number three in the 2015 Cricket World Cup. His return to the set-up in 2017 saw him produce some amazing performances in the Test series against Sri Lanka and some solid performances against New Zealand in both ODIs and T20Is.

The fact that he has been successful so far in filling the huge gap left by Misbah and Younis and has flourished in all formats makes him the ideal man for the job.
