Ranking Top 10 current Test batsmen irrespective of ICC Rankings
Test cricket is into an interesting phase in the last couple of years.
6. Asad Shafiq
Asad Shafiq made his Test debut way back in 2010 and had a very promising start. He made two half-centuries in his first two test innings. A century against Bangladesh showcased his class at the highest level. Since then he has been regular in the test team.
Shafiq has played several memorable innings for Pakistan in the whites. His grinding hundred in Cape Town, a match-winning century at Galle or his beautiful knock of 109 at Kennington Oval; all have been very special and full of sheer class. Most of all, his gallant innings of 137 at The Gabba almost won the match for Pakistan and again was a testament of his temperament.
The 33-year-old is in sublime touch in the past few years. He has been scoring runs consistently for Pakistan in difficult conditions. On dry tracks in the UAE, Shafiq has scored over 2000 runs, averaging 45 to go with 5 centuries and 11 fifties. Earlier in the year, Pakistan lost 2-0 in South Africa, but Shafiq returned with two half-centuries.
