Pakistan selectors reveal reason behind Hasan Ali’s selection

LAHORE: The Pakistan selectors revealed the reason behind recalling fast bowler Hasan Ali for the Ireland and England tour on Thursday.

The national selection committee members Abdul Razzaq, Bilal Afzal, Mohammad Yousuf and Wahab Riaz announced the 18-member Pakistan squad during a press conference here.

However, Hasan Ali’s selection raised eyebrows, prompting questions regarding his comeback.

While responding to a question, Wahab Riaz clarified that the right-arm pacer is selected on the back of his experience, as well as a backup for Haris Rauf.

“Hasan Ali was already in our plans for T20 World Cup 2024. He is a backup of Haris Rauf and we have communicated that to Hasan Ali,” said Riaz.

“If Haris gets fit before the England series then he will be our first choice. If we feel Haris Rauf is not fit then Hasan Ali will replace him.”

LAHORE: All-rounder Salman Ali Agha earned his maiden call-up, while fast bowlers Haris Rauf and Hasan Ali have returned to the Pakistan squad for the upcoming tours of Ireland and England.

The national selection committee members Abdul Razzaq, Bilal Afzal, Mohammad Yousuf and Wahab Riaz announced the 18-member Pakistan squad during a press conference here on Thursday.

Rauf recovered from his shoulder injury, which he suffered during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season nine against Karachi Kings in February.

He missed most part of the PSL 9 and the recently concluded T20I series against New Zealand due to the aforementioned injury.

Along with Rauf, wicketkeeper Azam Khan was also sidelined for the New Zealand T20Is due to a calf injury, while middle-order batter Muhammad Irfan Khan and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan were rested from the two T20Is in Lahore due to niggles.

The four cricketers underwent fitness assessments at the National Cricket Academy on Tuesday afternoon, showing significant improvement.

This progress has provided confidence and encouragement to the PCB Medical Panel and the team management regarding their potential availability during the seven T20Is.

Pakistan thump Ireland in ICC U19 Women’s T20 WC

POTCHEFSTROOM: Pakistan put on an all-round performance to thump Ireland by seven wickets and scripted a winning start to their ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup Super Six.

After opting to bat first, Ireland could accumulate 113/7 in their allotted 20 overs at the back of a gritty half-century by Annabel Squires.

Ireland had a frustrating start to their innings as both openers – Rebecca Gough and Joanna Loughran – perished cheaply for a combined score of just 12 in the fourth over.

Following the slump, Squires stood firm and kept the scoreboard ticking single-handedly as she did not receive any support from the other end.

The right-handed batter remained unbeaten with 55 off 52 deliveries and smashed five boundaries.

Besides Squires, only Zara Craig (17) remained the notable run-getter while no other batter could hold on for long against a disciplined Pakistan bowling attack.

Anosha Nasir and Rida Aslam bagged two wickets each for Pakistan, while Areesha Noor and Mahnoor Aftab struck out a batter apiece.

Set to chase 114, Pakistan comfortably sailed through for the loss of just three wickets with 17 balls to spare; courtesy of a combined effort from their batters.

Openers Shawaal Zulfiqar and Eyman Fatima led a solid foundation for the run chase with a brisk 44-run partnership before both batters perished on consecutive deliveries.

Fatima scored a quick 25 off just 17 balls, while Shawaal struck a 20-ball 18.

Following their departure, skipper Syeda Arooba Shah led from the front with her quickfire knock of 35 and top-scored for her side before walking back to the dugout in the 15th over.

She scored 35 off just 25 deliveries and hit four boundaries.

Following Aroob’s dismissal, Warda Yousaf (24*) stitched an unbeaten 17-run partnership with Laiba Nasir (7*) and led her side to glory.

For Ireland, Zara, Freya Sargent and Georgina Dempsey struck out a batter each.

Pakistan Women edge Ireland by 13 runs in rain-hit tri-series match

BREADY: Nida Dar starred with an all-round performance as Pakistan Women’s cricket team beat Ireland by 13 runs in a rain-reduced 14 overs per side match in the third encounter of the ongoing tri-nation series, here at Bready Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. 

Muneeba Ali and Nida Dar played crucial knocks of 29 and 26, respectively to bolster the Green Shirts to post a competitive total of 92 after electing to bat first.

Ireland, however, underwent complete chaos during their chase despite a flourishing start provided by the openers Gaby Lewis and Rebecca Stokell.

Tuba Hassan gave Pakistan a much-needed initial breakthrough in the 8th over after she bowled out Stokell on 19, dismantling the 55-run opening partnership.

Dar then struck in the 12th over to force the panic mode in the Ireland camp as the team slid from 74/2 to 83/6 during the next two overs.

Lewis shone with her phenomenal individual knock of 47 off 41 balls but failed to finish the game on a positive note for her team after she was run out in the 14th over.

For Pakistan, Tuba, Dar and Fatima Sana bagged a wicket apiece while three of the Ireland batters went back following runouts to seal the first win for the Green Shirts in the tri-nation series.

Earlier, the opening encounter of the tri-nation series between Pakistan and Australia ended without a result as the game was washed out due to rain.

Meanwhile, Australia Women beat Ireland by nine wickets in the second match of the series on Sunday.

Pakistan will now face Australia for the second time in the tri-nation series on Saturday before their final game on Sunday against Ireland.
