“I am a tailender”: Pakistan batter Iftikhar Ahmed
Iftikhar Ahmed is technically a middle-order batter, however he has frequently batted lower the order when the team is in need of quick runs. Down the order, he has batted at 7 or 8 positions depending on the situation. Recently, he positioned himself as a tailender during the media interaction in Faisalabad where players have gathered to participate in the Champions One-Day Cup (Pakistan’s domestic tournament).
"I am not a middle-order batter, I am a lower-order batter. I am not an all-rounder, I am a tailender. If you see, I bat at No. 7 or 8. And if you look at the all-rounders and middle-order batters around the world, they usually bat at Nos. 4 or 5. But I play at No. 7 and 8, and I think of myself as a tailender," Iftikhar said while speaking to media.
Iftikhar Ahmed has played for Pakistan in 4 Tests, 28 ODIs and 66 T20Is. Iftikhar Ahmed recently encountered tough times during Pakistan’s campaign at the T20I World Cup as he repeatedly failed to perform.
