A left-hander of more obduracy than flair, Asim
Kamal is the sort of batsman who can bind the middle order together,
allowing others to bat around him. He is typically minimalist,
particularly well equipped with a fluid cover-drive, but his meat
and drink are nudged singles and patient spells of batting. After
five seasons of domestic cricket, Kamal finally made his Test debut
against South Africa, at the relatively ripe age of 27. Like so many
others of late, Kamal was impressive in his first match, missing out
on a hundred by just one run. Coming back into side for the Tests
against India, Kamal continued to impress. In a series where most of
Pakistan's batsmen gained notoriety for throwing their wickets away,
Kamal showed rare discipline and composure, batting well with the
tail to score two half-centuries. He further consolidated his
reputation as a gritty customer during Pakistan's 2005 tour of
India, scoring 91 in the first innings of the first Test. His safe
catching at gully came in handy on several occasions on the same
tour
