Pakistan's Probable XI For Asia Cup Clash Against India

6. Asif Ali

Asif Ali, a right-handed lower-order batsman from Faisalabad, is also one of those stars that emerged from the Pakistan Super League and have proved a point in the international arena.

Known for his belligerent style of batting and brutal hitting, Ali is a paramount find. He showed glimpses of his clean striking during Pakistan's ODI series against Zimbabwe.

Sarfraz and co will hope that Ali can live up to his reputation and dismantle India's bowling line-up in the upcoming match, provided he gets a chance to do so.

7. Shadab Khan

Shadab Khan

Shadab Khan is the all-round prodigy hailed as the next big thing in Pakistan Cricket. The leggie has made significant strides in International Cricket since being promoted from the PSL to the national playing XI.

Not only has he bamboozled the best of the batsmen with his treacherous leg-spin, but Khan has, more often than not, also offered handy contributions with the bat.

He is one of those key players that gel the batting and bowling orders together. To top it up, the 20-year old isn't short of fielding brilliance too.

8. Faheem Ashraf

Similar to that of Shadab's, Faheem Ashraf's career is also a relatively newer but thoroughly flourishing one. The first time he appeared on the international scene was against Sri Lanka in Champions Trophy Knock-out game where he made a quickfire cameo.

He is renowned for his power hitting and is even tipped as the next Abdul Razzaq for Pakistan. Ashraf has also put up consistently impressive performances with the ball, on Pakistan's away games.
