WATCH: Iftikhar Ahmed's No-Look shot misfires in Global T20 Canada match

Iftikhar Ahmed’s recent performances have raised concerns as his struggles at the crease continue to mount. 

Once renowned for his ability to hit towering sixes, Iftikhar has been unable to consistently clear the ropes, leading to growing questions about his future in international cricket. His role as Pakistan's finisher in ICC tournaments has been disappointing, with lackluster outings in both the ODI and T20 World Cups.

Despite his recent form, Iftikhar received a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to compete in the Global T20 Canada. 

Iftikhar's comeback in the Global T20 Canada 2024 was far from successful. Batting at No. 4 in a chase of 190 runs, he had a chance to redeem himself but fell short. 

Entering the crease in the 7th over, Iftikhar was dismissed in the 18th over, scoring only 28 runs from 24 balls. His efforts were insufficient as the Bangla Tigers succumbed to a 33-run defeat. The highlight of his innings was a failed no-look shot that led to an easy catch for the fielder.

The match saw Rahmanullah Gurbaz shine with a dynamic 64 off 39 balls, yet the Bangla Tigers managed only 156-8. Earlier, the Montreal Tigers set a formidable target with 189-6, driven by strong performances from Ashton Agar (41), Tim Seifert (44), Dilpreet Bajwa (41), and Ben Manenti (40).
