Haider Aliโs Career So Far
Haider has represented Pakistan in 2 ODIs and 35 T20Is. He rose to prominence in the PSL 2020 with Peshawar Zalmi, scoring 239 runs at a strike rate of 157.23. His explosive batting style earned him a national call-up the same year, where he scored a 33-ball 54 on debut against England in Manchester.
While inconsistency has affected his international career, Haider remains seen as a promising talent whose aggressive approach suits Pakistanโs evolving T20 strategy.
