The last decade and a half have been a total turnaround in terms of cricket in India as people tend to follow the game passionately, with more zeal and endearment. The Incarnation of the most-loved franchise-based T20 tournament, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/category/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League</a> (IPL) help populous to rejuvenate, share ecstasy, see their beloved International cricketers play along each other, the streets start to blare horn, but one thing has been staggering and unparalleled is non-participation of the Pakistani cricketers.

Albeit in cricket,<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/india/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> India</a> and Pakistan are &#8216;arch-rivals&#8217;, it is the passion to cheer their nation which spreads brotherhood across the borders, which eventually helps the players to get the best out of them. However, the glimpse of Pakistan players which was seen in first two seasons after which they got dissipate and were never seen thereafter. It has been believed that after 26/11 attack, all eight franchises were asked by the penultimate board to either suspend or terminate their contracts.

Had they been allowed to play in the premier T20 tournament, it would have been a treat to witness not only the affectionate concordance which players carry but would have also help populous witness sheer class of some of the greats of modern-day cricket from Pakistan. The following are the list of Pakistani cricketers who could have left a mark on Indian soil if the opportunity would have knocked their door.

Fakhar is known for using his feet against the spinners, and one would have to say that the 27-year-old lad is able to smash the ball a long way, which helps him to notch his strike-rate by a huge margin in the middle overs. He uses his feet to the perfection which would have helped him showcase his cricketing skills even better on spin-friendly tracks which Indian soil offers. Moreover, seeing the glimpse of his batting style, it won&#8217;t be wrong to say that Fakhar emulates the legendary Australian cricketer Adam Gilchrist.

The resolute and composed No. 3 has an excellent batting technique and can hold the innings together. Having played 12 T20 Internationals and scoring over 200 runs, Fakhar can be lethal in the subcontinent conditions. He carries the highest score of 50 to his side with an astonishing strike-rate of 123.12 speaks volumes about his game.

Pakistan has always been considered the land of menacing and fiery fast bowlers wreaking havoc in any batting line up. The 24-year-old Hasan Ali has been able to take that legacy forward and one could easily witness that hunger for wickets in the ICC Champions Trophy which held in England last year. With his lethal bowling action and ability to extract bounce even on docile tracks, Hasan Ali has well been in the limelight from last year and a half.

Hasan Ali has played 14 T20 International matches till now and is raring to become the specialist frontline bowler from Pakistan Cricket. Picking 19 wickets in 14 innings give us a sight as what can be a thrilling <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/category/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League</a> Career.

Having been able to impress almost everyone in the International domain, the 18-year-old Shadab Khan got an opportunity to showcase his leg-spinning prodigy in the seventh edition of the Big Bash League (BBL). Shadab Khan featured in the Pakistan jersey for the Champions Trophy and played a pivotal role to help Pakistan clinch the title. He has already played with fellow International Brendon McCullum at the Trinbago Knight Riders in the Caribbean Premier League and would have loved to play alongside some of the greats of modern day cricket in IPL.

Shadab has also been handy with the bat and can well provide those important 20-30 runs at the back end of the innings. His International experience could have well come into play in the eleventh edition of Indian Premier Leauge.

Adjudged as India&#8217;s son-in-law and the person who carries high stature not only in the Pakistan Cricket but across the globe. Shoaib Malik has been the pillar of Pakistan&#8217;s cricket for quite some time now and is known to produce those match-winning performances in every format. He carries a lot of experience at his back and has the ability to play according to the conditions and bail out his team.

Apart from his batting skills, Malik can provide few handy overs in the middle which would eventually help the team to believe in him. A career spanning almost two-decades and having being played in almost every league, Malik must be wondering if could have got a longer run in the IPL circuit.

Seeing the buys by franchises in this year&#8217;s IPL Player Auction, one can notably take one thing into account, all eight franchise were looking to spend a handsome amount on left-arm fast bowlers. From India&#8217;s Jaydev Unadkat to Australia&#8217;s Mitchell Starc, all have been bought for a whopping price. Keeping into account the skill set Amir has, he could have well been handy with the ball in the sub-continent conditions.

Amir has all the elements which are needed to shine at this level from being able to bowl at lightning fast speed to the ability to menacing bouncers. He has played 35 International matches for Pakistan and snared 41 wickets at an economy of just 6.82.
