Pakistan fast-bowler Hasan Ali, who has been selected for One-Day International squad for England series, has expressed that he wants to fill the void created after the retirements of former captain Waqar Younis and Azhar Mehmood.
“Waqar and Azhar are my favorite cricketers and I am well-aware of the fact that Pakistan hasn’t found any decent bowling all-rounder since their retirement. So I look forward to perform in the upcoming 50-over contests against England.
“I want to make the most of this golden opportunity and cement my position in the team,” the Hasan Ali told to local media.
Hasan Ali was selected in the squad on the basis of his recent List ‘A’ performances in England during a tri-nation series, comprising hosts England Lions, Sri Lanka ‘A’ and Pakistan ‘A’ teams. He has picked up 163 wickets in 58 domestic matches across all three formats.
"While picking the squad, the team management and skipper were consulted and all concerned gave their consent in this regard," chief selector Inzamam ul Haq said in a statement issued by PCB. "The team has been selected keeping in mind the conditions and the recent performances of some players in domestic and A Team tours. The team is a fine blend of experience and youth and the selectors believe that this team will do well."
