Am I the only one who thinks that if given regular chances, Azhar Ali can become a successful long term one down in both tests and ODIs? I mean just look at his ODI and first class limited overs records. His strike rate is admittedly on a lower side in ODIs, but given that Younus is out of contention now and Misbah will most probably hang his ODI gloves after world cup, we will desperately need a consolidator or two for ODIs. That he has all the qualities to be a good future captain is a big plus.

No I dont agree. He’s more like Misbah as you said yourself. I dont think he can score quick runs under pressure so can be a ball-hogger. But one thing is that if he’s really in a great form, we can give him a shot so its not like he should b banned from ODI, just not in the priority list
