Bilal Asif (Sialkot all-rounder) - Performance Watch

Bilal Asif vs Balochistan in 3rd round of QEA

1st innings : 1/46 in 10 overs
2nd innings : 4/33 in 8.5 overs
 
Picks up cheap wickets as usual. Zafar broke through the middle order and this guy benefits by cleaning the tail denying Zafar a 5-fer again.
 
Yup. Bilal Asif didn’t look upto much either now or when he played for the side. I guess Yasirs gonna get a new lease of life.

I think Yasir is on his last legs. He aint getting his side spin back and that means he ain't taking wickets consistently

No I mean Yasir will get a new lease of life because the possible replacements aren’t doing great themselves. That would mean Yasir will be part of the side lol

Even if the other guys are terrible and they are, Yasir won't get any longer rope. I would be amazed if he is on the England tour. A spinner has to give you control, even if doesn't take wickets, Yasir is doing neither.
 
I am amazed to whats happened to his batting i am sure he was spotted as an opener in 20 20 and scored a quick fire century but since then hardly a decent knock
 
Got five wicket hauls in his first test and also in his last test vs NZ. Amazing.

Not sure what he did wrong - but surely, someone should have mentioned him in the last few months.

That was fluke knock and he was selected based on one knock lol

Think this could be a good move for Bilal as chances of resuming a Test career are low.

And I was wrong!

Selected in the 16-man squad for first Test vs Bangladesh.
 
Misbah-u-Haq speaking about Bilal's selection for the Bangladesh series (1st Test)


"Bilal Asif is brought in keeping left-handers in mind to give us a different option. Kashif Bhatti is doing well but Yasir and Bilal provide a combination that can help us to deal with a side with left-handers.

"We didn't ignore Bilal Asif previously. In September we had a camp and he was in that camp and he has been at NCA also and has been bowling with Mushy bhai. So these players are in the pool and you pick them according to the conditions and see which players you want to utilise. We don't have any other off-spinners right now and Bilal Asif has been performing well also and has been picked, looking at the opposition. Going forward also, we will utilise players when we can give them chances.
 
No longer in the main list of players - part of reserves for the upcoming tour of England. Is his time over?
 
The selectors have also named four reserves in Bilal Asif, Imran Butt, Musa Khan and Mohammad Nawaz as a cover in case any of the players fail pre-tour Covid-19 testing, which will be carried out on 20 and 25 June.

Based on this info, Bilal Asif stands a chance of making the squad due to Haris Rauf, Shadab Khan and Haider Ali testing positive for Covid-19.
 
Bilal's released a new music video!
