The right-handed batter, who made his international debut in 2010, was considered an integral part of the Test setup, but he was dropped from the squad after a string of disappointing performances in 2020.
Recently, the middle-order batter expressed his desire to make a comeback to the squad for red-ball cricket, stating that he will consider himself fortunate if he is able to play for Pakistan again.
“If I am lucky, I will play for Pakistan again. A comeback for Pakistan has not been made a matter of life and death for me,” Shafiq said.
Asad has 4,660 runs at an average of 38.19 in 77 Test matches for Pakistan, with 12 hundreds and 27 fifty-plus scores. He has 1,336 runs at an average of 24.24 in 60 ODIs, including nine fifties.
