He recorded his second five-wicket haul, once again against Sri Lanka, in 2019 during his penultimate ODI.

Usman was also part of the Pakistan squad at the Asia Cup in 2018.

Meanwhile, Pakistan recently clinched a T20 tri-nation series, defeating Afghanistan by a massive 75 runs at Sharjah. A brilliant five-wicket haul and a hat-trick from spinner Mohammed Nawaz helped Pakistan secure the victory.

Pakistan ended this tri-nation series with a total of four wins and a loss, while Afghanistan secured three wins and two losses, including this loss in the final. UAE, the hosts, lost all their matches. This series win serves as a good sign for Pakistan, who will start their Asia Cup campaign here on September 12 against Oman in Dubai. (ANI)
