Pakistan is one team that has blown hot and cold in every ICC tournament. Temperament is one factor that many Pakistanis seem to be lacking.

But Shoaib Malik has handled pressure situations very well throughout his career. Although he doesn't possess the power game as that of the modern-day players, he is as effective as them.

He is a very versatile player and stepped up whenever there was a weakness in the batting order. He holds an unusual record of batting in every position except 11th in ODIs.

He has been a keen contributor with both bat and ball for Pakistan. In fact, he is one among the only two current players to have scored 7500 runs and take 150 wickets.

With such a tight batting technique, he will play a huge role in the middle overs. With him being the longest-serving current international player, the 37-year old would like to hang up his boots with a World Cup medal.
