Abid Ali becomes the first batsman ever to hit a hundred on both ODI and Test debut

[Ilan Bluestone]

Ever since he scored his century in ODI debut, been screaming for his selection. Actually has a brain and can turn it on in the limited formats as well. Drop Shan forever. Horrendous player.

Regardless of the quality of opposition, it is a great achievement especially when none has done it before. Congrats to Abid.

He should definitely start an a first choice opener in both tests and ODIs.

On This Day in 2019, Abid Ali became the third Pakistan batter to score a 100 on ODI debut when he scored 112 against Australia in Dubai.

I wonder where is he now?

Is he coming out of retirement too?

I don't think he has retired yet. But will be a good time to have a meeting with PCB chairman or call someone.

Honestly, what happened to Abid Ali?

He was diagnosed with a heart condition called Acute Coronary Syndrome according to PCB. He had to undergo an angioplasty. It's been good 2-3 years.

Had a heart attack, Shane considering this guy was extremely extremely good.

Hope he’s ok. Gets a bit of stick but honestly there are worse openers that have had more chances. Deserves to be looked at.

I think his time is over. Age is not his friend now. His international career seems to be over.

Yet he seems to be playing first class obviously harbouring hopes for a return. Let’s see. 36 isn’t geriatric. He may have some mileage left given our current options.

Yep, he is playing domestic cricket and has scored some runs as well. Let's see.
