Pakistan’s Hasan Ali speaks up on ball tampering

The cricketing world has been engulfed with a cheating scandal that has rocked the sport and dragged the Australian team's reputation through mud.

Pakistani fast bowler Hasan Ali too has spoken up about the recent ball tampering row. "Look I don't know how to tamper with the ball and neither have I ever learnt to do this," Hasan said at a press conference.

The Pakistani pacer was of the view that the recent tampering issue is nothing new and was of the view that fast bowlers used it as tactics of the game.

"Of course fast-bowlers do that and you can look at history for that. In cricket this is called tactics and if you are caught then you are accused; in dry conditions, the ball gets scratched itself," he added.

Meanwhile, the West Indies will be touring Pakistan for a three match T20I series, which will take place from April 1 till 3.

West Indies squad:

Jason Mohammed (captain), Samuel Badree, Rayad Emrit, Andre Fletcher, Andre McCarthy, Keemo Paul, Veerasammy Permaul, Rovman Powell, Denesh Ramdin (wkt), Marlon Samuels, Odean Smith, Chadwick Walton, Kesrick Williams
