Taking to Twitter, United announced the decision of making Asif the team's vice-captain and added a video in which the franchise's head coach, Azhar Mahmood, could be seen talking about Asif's appointment.
"As you know, he has been playing for the same team. All the best from my side, go and play your game."
Then the skipper, Shadab Khan, could be seen stepping up to say some words and also handed him the cap.
He said: "Our team's most senior player, who has been playing for us since the beginning and has been integral in making us the two-times champions. Today I announce on behalf of everyone, 'Asif Ali our new vice-captain.'"
