Ashraf’s Faisalabad coach, Tanveer Shaukat, was discerning to regard his charge. “Ashraf has always been an superb player. He is a quickest to adjust to a coach’s plans,” he said.
The child from Kasur has been personification underneath Shaukat given a U16s. “He was never most of a talker, rather focusing on his diversion and listening to whatever a manager told him to do,” Shaukat told The Express Tribune. “He has a ability to adopt whatever he is taught and only does what he is told.”

Ashraf might be a bowling all-rounder though he lead his Faisalabad U19 group in 2014 to a championship where he was named a best batsman of a tournament. “He could always bat,” pronounced Shaukat. “In that tournament, he was batting during series five. It might come as a warn for some to see his large attack though we have been saying it for a few years now.”
The 23-year-old is now some-more of a bowler than he was a few years ago though Shaukat believes he can still transparent a range with ease. “He doesn’t get most possibility now to bat given he comes in during series 8 in domestic cricket. But we can pledge we that if he is sent in earlier, he will be means to do good too,” he said. “He can be a subsequent seam-bowling all-rounder that a group needs.”

The male Ashraf is out to replace, former all-rounder Abdul Razzaq, feels he has what it takes to fill his boots; still empty in a side. “He has a ability to fill a place of a fast-bowling all-rounder that Pakistan are in hunt of,” he said. “He can play good and has showed his batting skills too.”
