#3. Iftikhar Ahmed
Pakistani batsman Iftikhar Ahmed’s participation in the ongoing Asia Cup could potentially mark his last appearance in the tournament. One significant factor contributing to this uncertainty is his recent dip in form. Iftikhar has struggled to maintain consistency and produce notable performances in recent times. This has resulted in limited opportunities at the international level. His struggles with the bat have raised questions about his future on the national team.
Pakistan seeks to groom younger talents and revamp its batting lineup. Iftikhar’s age and inconsistent form might lead him to contemplate retirement from the game and make way for emerging talents who could shape Pakistan’s future. However, he might not retire and make a comeback with some blistering knocks, but currently, it seems like the last breaths of his career.
