I rate Azhar Ali extremely highly. To my mind he is the true successor to Younis Khan. Younis has proven himself to be a high class Test batsman all over the world, in all conditions with major contributions to wins and draws. I see Azhar becoming the same.
Thus far outside of UAE/Asia his averages are not great - under 40 in all countries except Zimbabwe. But with his technique and determination to bat for long periods I do believe that will change.
Where do you think Azhar will end up in the long term? Do you think I'm being optimistic and maybe it will be Asad, Nasir, Shehzad, Umar or Haris (all of them at this point young and largely unproven) who will become our best Test batsman in the next 10 years?
