Fakhar, meanwhile, will be looking to regain his form in the upcoming ODI series against Australia. The attacking opener had not looked back since scoring a century against India in the Champions Trophy final last year. In no time, he cemented his place in the team and also became the batting mainstay. However, he had a dismal Asia Cup-campaign.

Before coming to Asia Cup, he crossed the 1,000-run mark in ODIs in just 18 innings. During the tour of Zimbabwe, he became the first Pakistani cricketer to score a double century in ODIs. He had scored 515 in the series – the second-most by any batsman in a bilateral series. He was dismissed only twice and averaged an incredible 257.50. The impressive performance had helped him break a plethora of records.
But he failed to deliver in the recently-concluded Asia Cup. Fakhar failed to provide his usual freewheeling. He began the tournament with a 24-run knock against Hong Kong. In the following two games against India and Afghanistan, he could not open his account. Knocks of 31 and 1 against India and do-or-die clash against Bangladesh brought an end to his as well as Pakistan’s disappointing campaign in the Asia Cup.
