ICC Cricket World Cup 2019: Strongest Pakistan Playing XI

#8. Faheem Ashraf

Faheem Ashraf

Another promising youngster coming up from Pakistan is the 25-year old Faheem Ashraf. Ashraf is the rare commodity that every other team will envy. The all-rounder is a left-handed batsman and right-arm medium pace.

He can trouble any batting lineup with pace and accuracy. He has played only 18 ODIs so far but has already taken a five-for. More importantly, Ashraf is a power-hitter who can be explosive in the death overs. Coming in late, he can be the surprise package in English conditions.

#9. Shaheen Afridi

Young Shaheen Afridi is still finding his feet in international cricket, but he also brings the exuberance of the youth and excitement to the side. The 18-year old was the leading wicket-taker from his side in the Under-19 World Cup and was named as the rising star by ICC.

It did not take long for Shaheen to break into the senior Pakistani team and there too, he has performed very well. Six feet six inches tall bowler is a left-arm seamer and his bowling variety can come handy in the World Cup.
