Shoaib Malik has played 394 T20 matches in the past fifteen years, recording 10027 runs at an average of 37+. Although he is yet to list a hundred in this format, the batsman has scored 61 fifties.

He also ranks in the elite list which includes Chris Gayle (13296) and Keiron Pollard (10370) of West Indies.

On the other hand, many senior players including Imran Farhat and Rahat Ali were dropped for poor performance in the National T20 Cup.
