Aslam last played for Pakistan in 2017 against Sri Lanka in UAE, scoring 39 in the 1st innings and 1 in the second.

Aslam made his debut for Pakistan in 2015 in an ODI against Bangladesh and made his Test debut against the same opposition.
Aslam started his international career brightly, scoring two half-centuries against England in England in only his third Test match, but he failed to convert his good starts into big scores as he scored seven half-centuries in 13 matches, without scoring a century.
Aslam played 13 Test matches for Pakistan from 2015-2017, scoring 758 runs at an average of 31.58. He also represented the national team in 4 ODIs, scoring 78 runs at an average of 19.50.
