For the first T20 International of the four-match series against England, Pakistan released pace bowler Hasan Ali. This will be followed by a T20 World Cup held in the US and the West Indies.
The senior fast bowler Haris Rauf has regained match fitness hence; the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said it was announcing that Hasan Ali has been released.Hasan will now complete his county cricket engagements in England.
Haris was recovering from a groin injury since February and had to be replaced by Hasan who was then included in an 18-member squad for Ireland tour that continued into England as a backup.
One of those T20 internationals played in Ireland by Hasan saw him giving away too many runs.
Till now Pakistani side is still waiting to announce its final 15-member squad for the forthcoming T20 World Cup.
Two batsmen Agha Ali Salman and Irfan Niazi who are presently in England will likely be named as travelling reserves of this event.
This is the last series between Pakistan and England before the World Cup. All IPL participants from England have returned home from India to play this four-match series.
