LEEDS - Fast bowler Hasan Ali has been released from the Pakistan squad ahead of the first T20I against England on Wednesday. Pakistan’s team management has decided to release Hasan Ali to continue his commitments in county cricket with Warwickshire County Cricket Club. He was selected in the Pakistan squad for the Ireland and England series as an injury cover for fast bowler Haris Rauf, who was nursing a shoulder injury. So, by the will of Almighty Allah, he will surely be seen in action in the series.” Rauf did not play any part during the Ireland series owing to his nursing injury, while Ali featured in one game. Pakistan defeated Ireland 2-1 in the three-match T20I series before reaching England to play the four-match series against the defending T20 World champions.
