This is an issue that needs to be addressed and I’m not sure why this isn't highlighted enough. The strike rates of our Batsmen coming through since Misbah took over as captain in 2010 are far too low. There is a clear case of being highly timid and not batting for the team and more for yourself. Some examples of poor strike rates Minimum 20 Tests or 1000 runs:
Misbah ul Haq: 44.6
Azhar Ali: 41.6!!
Asad Shafique: 48.6 (not the worst)
Shan Masood: 45.3
Taufeeq Umar: 44.7
Adnan Akmal: 44.1
Fawad Alam: 46.6
Shoaib Malik: 45.7
Other mentions who have not played 20 Tests of have scored 1000 runs but could or will if not injured:
Harris Sohail: 43.8!!
Imam ul Haq: 44.7
Abdullah Shafique: 39.8!!!
Abid Ali: 48.3 (not the worst)
Decent/Respectable/Par mentions:
Babar Azam: 53.5
Mohammad Hafeez: 56.0 (very good)
Mohammad Rizwan: 51.2
Sarfaraz Ahmed: 71.0 (excellent)
Misbah ul Haq: 44.6
