Yasir made his First-Class debut at the age of 15 in 2002, but a chance to represent the national team came nine years later, when Pakistan faced Zimbabwe in a three-match ODI series in 2011. He picked up two wickets in the match. Yasir has also represented Pakistan ‘A’ and a host of other domestic sides. Even though he had not played ODI cricket that much, the selectors showed immense faith in him and named him in the 2015 World Cup squad. The tournament, though, wasn’t quite a game-changer for Yasir, who played just the one game against India at Adelaide and conceded 60 runs in eight odd overs. Since then, Yasir has become more of a mainstay of Pakistan’s bowling line-up in Tests, with the selectors keen on a different breed of bowlers for the limited-overs internationals. He wasn’t even part of the squad for ICC Champions Trophy, 2017 — a tournament that Pakistan defied the odds to win. In25 ODIs, he has taken only 24 wickets.
