Asif suffered an elbow injury in the second test in Lahore and has not played since. Pakistan lead the five-match series 2-1 with Shoaib Akhtar available for selection after a ban for the final match.
He is not certain to play in the last two games because we need him in India for the tests and one-day internationals and he is a proven performer," chief selector Salahuddin Ahmed said.
Another fitness worry surrounds left-arm spinner Abdul Rehman, who has played a vital role in the series so far. He has a groin problem and his fitness will be assessed prior to the next match, in Multan, on Friday (October 26).
