10 Current cricketers who are not made for T20 cricket

3. Azhar Ali

While Azhar Ali might be Pakistan’s prominent match-winner in Test cricket, the 36-year old has definitely faced a scuffle when it comes to his smooth batting in the shortest format. Because of his compact technique where often the bat comes in behind the line of the ball, Azhar isn’t known to get indulged in some flashy stroke play. In a true sense, he becomes more of a touch player who can fetch gaps but cannot comfortably hit some muscular sixes.

So far, the cricketer from his 49 T20 games has scored some 985 runs which also includes a pale average of just 21.88. Also when it comes to the strike rate, the veteran has just managed to keep it afloat above 100 (104.67). Even when it comes to clearing the fence, Azhar Ali has merely hit 16 sixes along with also posting only three low-key fifty-plus scores.

Perhaps, even his highest score of 72 has also certainly highlighted his insubstantiality and in many ways has made him flabby to play the shortest format. Overall, it’s now been more than 2 years when the former Pakistani skipper played his last white-ball game and even up to five years when it comes to featuring himself in T20 cricket.
