Pakistan has been in search of a lower-order power-hitting batsman for a very long time. Thanks to the PSL, they managed to find a brilliant hitter in the form of Asif Ali. His exposure to this domestic T20 league has thrown him in the prominence and he was soon able to make his international debut.

Asif Ali strikes the ball extremely hard and is capable of clearing any fence with ease. He is another one of those Pakistan players who will be making his BPL debut this year. The 28-year-old is vastly experienced in the shortest format of the game and has scored nearly 2900 runs in 143 games.

His strike rate of 148 is highly impressive and he is a game-changer. Asif can be used in two ways by the Platoon. They can either slot him down the order and use him purely as a finisher. Or else, they can give him more responsibility and ask him to bat up the order.
