Zubin Surkari is an orthodox batsman who is most effective batting higher up in the order where he can anchor one end and build an innings. He has been around for a number of years, but illness and injury have prevented Surkari from having an uninterrupted run in the team, and he is still finding his feet in international cricket. He can play his shots, but he's not a big hitter and is generally slow out of the gate - which is just fine in a team that has barnstorming openers Rizwan Cheema and John Davison.
Strengths
Surkari is agile and quick in the field, as well as having among the safest pair of hands.
