Good performance and his confidence should increase. He could play at number 5 for Pakistan, perhaps.

This innings may come back to haunt him.
With the top order of Babar, Rizwan and Hafeez set and Fakhar seemingly back in form, it may be that Haider is pushed down to 5/6. While he would be better there than the likes of Khushdil/ Asif/ Azam Khan, he is too good a player to be down at number 6.
He has solid temperament and great character.
Not one of those to buckle under pressure and it showed today.
Just needs to bat long periods and figure out his game.
There is so much talent there that he cant really establish what kind of a batsman he is.

13 boundaries and 9 were leg side hacks
Add some poor bowling too. Easily would’ve got out in the cow corner (in the internationals) as he usually does
6 months away from international cricket, and still the same leg side hacks
I had such high hopes but has become a Brain dead slogger at this point in his career.

If we are really serious in developing Haider, he needs to be dumped in domestic cricket and needs to be forgotten for at least 3 years.
He wont get lost if he tops the chartsAnd then get lost in the system
Haider Ali :
When QEA was competitive, he made his FC debut and scored 99 on debut. Than in final he scored 134. Score 645 runs at an average of almost 50 in 7 matches with 2 hundreds and 3 fifties. (As Opener)
He made his FC debut for Northern Side under the coaching of Muhammad Wasim who has been the best coach at nurturing talented batsmen at domestic level.
Haider's stance, technique, shots array all fell apart once he got under other coaches and got exposed to too much T20 cricket.
But how did you conclude he’s declined? Looked good in PSL. Just hadn’t played longer formats to make such a drastic conclusion.Mickey Arthur used his influence and helped Haider Ali get a contract at Derbyshire. However Haider instead of making the most of the opportunity as witnessed by some posters from England was often found binging on shawarmas or hanging out at shisha cafes. His frequent fluctuations in weight is not surprising. The episode with the girl in Manchester and the trouble he got into with the police in Manchester confirms his off field discipline is poor. He is only responsible for his decline himself.
