T20 WC: 'Pakistan Need To Give Fakhar A Chance In Middle Order,' Opines Ashwin
T20 World Cup: As Pakistan gears up for their T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 clash against England at the Pallekele International Stadium on Tuesday, former Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin suggested the Salman-led side should bring in experienced batter Fakhar Zaman to the playing XI if they are serious about the tournament.
Fakhar is yet to play a single match in the ongoing tournament. He last played for the team in the home series against Australia, in which the 35-year-old was able to score only 20 runs in the two matches he played.
According to Ashwin, Fakhar's ability to sweep against the spinners can be very useful for Pakistan against England. "If Pakistan are serious about this World Cup campaign, they need to think about giving Fakhar Zaman a go in the middle order. He can sweep and use his feet against Rashid and Dawson to inflict some serious damage through the middle overs," Ashwin wrote on X.
