She is In sha Allah at a good place and because of her Asif and his wife will also in sha Allah get a place in Janna’. May Allah give him and his wife sabr and strength.
 
Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raajioon.. May Allah give them sabr, strength and gift of many children in this dunya and make coolness of their eyes..
 
RIP!

I can’t even imagine the degree of pain and sorrow of losing a child. No human being deserves to go through it.

Ameen.

Asif should have never been in the WC squad.

His head wasn’t in the right place.

May Allah (swt) give him sabr and his daughter a place in Jannat, ameen!

I had dinner with him one evening half way through the World Cup and he seemed to have found the strength from somewhere to cope. He was relatively quiet although I got the sense that was his personality generally - Shaheen and Fakhar were the others at the dinner and Shaheen was the cheeky one doing most the talking. At one stage Asif piped up and made a joke about a certain England bowler which I can't repeat :)), but I was at least happy to see that he was managing.

Having said that, who knows what was actually going on in his head and my impression over one evening could have been an inaccurate reflection of his true mental state. No doubt the horror of what happened to him will hurt every day for the rest of his life. Inshallah Allah swt will give him and his family the strength to continue coping.

Now I’m intrigued. Give us a hint :))

dont know what is the truth tho and how much impact it had

But the numbers are the following:

in last series before death of his daughter he averaged 35.5 at a SR of 131 against the future world champions. Then his daughter passed away and in the WC he averaged 9.5 against inferior competition

Also an issue with him (even at his best) was that he didnt have a second skill. If he could bowl 4-5 tidy overs and/or be a great fielder then he could contribute outside of the batting and make up for his nit and miss style.

But Pakistan just did not have the luxury to play a #6 or #7 who was hit and miss and not contributing outside of the batting aspect.

It was about Jofra Archer who was relatively new on the scene at the time and everyone was sharing their thoughts on how good he was. So Asif then made a joke about Archer, which was done entirely innocently and to lighten the mood. However, if said out of context, the joke could be completely misconstrued and made to sound much worse than it was. So I can't share it I'm afraid :))

I'm sure the death of his daughter must have had some effect on his performance, but it's impossible to say how much. We all know that a lot of PakistanI players shine brightly for a short time and then fade away. So it's difficult to know how much was down to his personal tragedy and how much was down to being found out/end of a purple patch.

I just hope he can rediscover some sort of consistency.

Indeed. I remember him batting very well during the ODI series against England.

If only he could bowl some overs and chip in with some wickets.

Having said that I feel his career is over... he won’t be in the team for a long time.

He's never been the same since the death of his daughter.
 
was really heart broken for this guy. He finally not only made it to the Pakistan team but also got a chance to play the world cup. The kind of player he was, he did the impossible thing.

But than his daughter's health and her death........ Hope he is able to cope it, and makes lucrative career out of the t20 circuit.

The guys hitting ability is insane. I seriously think he can have a career in baseball
