    After an unremarkable show in ICC World Cup 2019 up until this point, all things considered, Malik Shoaib Malik has played his keep going ODI innings on Sunday against India at the Old Trafford.

    Malik had effectively declared to retirement from ODIs toward the finish of the on-going World Cup. He has scores of 8,0 and 0 of every three innings of the World Cup, up until now.

    He has scored only 3 50s in last 30 ODIs, scoring 608 keeps running at a normal of 25.33 since beginning of 2018 which demonstrates a decrease in his exhibition.

    Group sources state that Malik, in group gatherings, had been stating that he needed his last World Cup to me recollected yet it has transformed into a bad dream for him, as it might appear.

    The veteran of 287 ODIs, notwithstanding battling with structure, was supported by group's head mentor Mickey Arthur on Saturday, who trusted that Malik's experience would be significant for Pakistan in the game against India.

    In any case, Malik couldn't convey what Arthur had trusted.

    Also, following his unremarkable run, it appears to be improbable that he would be held by group for outstanding matches in the competition and Asif Ali would come to supplant him.

    In 287 ODIs, up until now, Malik has scored 7534 runs and has remained a vital piece of Pakistan Cricket group because of his inside and out capacity, yet a decrease in discussion during most recent couple of months has made genuine inquiries on Malik's choice in the group.

    Malik is one of just two players who appeared in 1990s are as yet dynamic in cricket, the other being West Indian Chris Gayle.

    Last June, he had declared to resign from ODIs after the World Cup, yet would keep on playing T20Is.

    "I have made some for myself. We have officially won two major occasions: the World T20 [in 2009] and the Champions Trophy [in 2017]. The main thing left in my vocation [to win] is that 50-over World Cup. That is the thing I am seeing which makes me buckle down. I have enormous expectations from these youths and myself. We are going to put forth a valiant effort," Malik had said a year ago.

    He had before resigned from Test cricket in 2015 in the wake of scoring his vocation best 245 against England at Sharjah.
