LEEDS – Fast bowler Hasan Ali has been released from the T20I squad ahead of the Pakistan vs England series, which is set to start from tonight.
“The team management has decided to let Hasan Ali continue his commitments in county cricket. Initially, Hasan was selected as an injury cover for Haris Rauf,” read the official statement issued by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
The right-arm pacer’s most recent appearance came in the third T20I against Ireland, where he bowled three overs and conceded 42 runs without a wicket.
