LAHORE – Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali is eager to make a strong return after successfully recovering from a serious elbow injury suffered during the county cricket season earlier this year.
The 30-year-old, who underwent surgery on his right elbow in August, has completed rehabilitation and returned to bowling.
Sharing a glimpse of his progress on Instagram, Hasan posted a video showing his workout at the gym, with the caption, “Let’s start your week with gymarmour.pk.”
His elbow injury, suffered whilst representing Warwickshire in July, severely limited his ability to play and forced him to return home before the end of the county’s season.
The injury required comprehensive treatment, which was facilitated by Warwickshire in accordance with the agreement with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
PCB sources have confirmed that the right-arm pacer has joined county cricket in full fitness, leaving his treatment and recovery, including surgery in England, to Warwickshire.
Since his recovery, Hasan has consistently worked on his fitness through intense gym sessions and has returned to bowling.
The 30-year-old, who has featured in 66 ODIs and 51 T20Is, taking 100 and 60 wickets respectively, last played an ODI during the 2023 World Cup against New Zealand on November 3, 2023, in Bengaluru.
His most recent appearance for the national team was in the T20I against Ireland in Dublin on 14 May 2024.
