In a country known for its quality spinners, Fareed Malik is a left arm pacer who's got limited number of opportunities in his international career so far. Malik made his ODI debut in 2014 and in the last five years, the left-arm medium pacer has played only 5 ODIs. Afghanistan usually play with more number of spinners than fast bowlers, hence Malik has got very few chances to feature for Afghanistan. He made his T20I and ODI debut - both against UAE but it's against Ireland where Malik has enjoyed more success. <br/> <br/> Malik's best ODI performance came at Noida where the left-arm pacer took three wickets against Ireland and as a result of his noteworthy contribution Afghanistan won that ODI comfortably. Fareed Malik has come up with inspiring performances in the Afghanistan Premier League but getting chance to feature in Afghanistan's playing XI is difficult as spin is their forte.
