10 Current cricketers who are not made for T20 cricket
There are many high-profile cricketers who don't just fit in the T20 context of the game.
10. Asad Shafiq
In Test cricket, Asad Shafiq has emerged out as an outstanding entity for Pakistan. The cricketer in his decade-long career has played a total of 77 Test matches and has scored runs at a fine average of 38.19. However, when it comes to indulging in the shortest format, the veteran has encountered a fair share of toil.
While playing more than 100 T20 games, Shafiq has scored a total of 2228 runs at a reasonable of 25.03 but his strike rate of 117.38 definitely makes him look grim. Also especially when considered his huge chunk of appearances, the 35-year old has merely managed to pile up only 11 scores of the fifties. Further, even when it comes to clearing the fence and hitting sixes, Shafiq has just managed to hit 33 of them.
Perhaps even while playing for Pakistan in 10 T20Is, Shafiq had barely scored runs at an average of 19.20. Hence, with all due respect to his longer format numbers and his solid technique, maybe the T20 cricket might now definitely not be his current cup of tea.
