Hasan Ali was hurt just before the first T20 Blast match.

Hasan Ali, a seasoned Pakistani fast bowler, suffered an injury while competing in the Twenty20 Blast competition in Birmingham.

Hasan Ali was warming up at the stadium when the event happened, soon before the first game between the Birmingham Bears and Yorkshire Vikings. His team, the Birmingham Bears, won by a score of 34 runs despite his absence.

Hasan Ali’s injury’s type and specifics have not been made public as of yet. Witnesses said that the Birmingham Bears personnel responded quickly to his needs, offering aid and lifting him off the ground.
Shaheen Afridi, a renowned fast bowler, Shan Masood, a dynamic left-handed opener, Shadab Khan, an all-rounder, Zafar Gohar, a left-arm spinner, Usama Mir, a leg-spinner, and up-and-coming players Haider Ali and Zaman Khan are among the renowned Pakistani cricketers competing in the competition. The nine-week event promises to be a thrilling talent exhibition.

Recently, Warwickshire County Cricket Club (CCC) and Hasan Ali agreed to a deal for the current season. He formerly played for Peshawar Zalmi in past seasons of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), but more recently he has been a part of Islamabad United. Notably, Hasan Ali received the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 player of the tournament award, emphasising his great talent.
