Pakistan announced its World Cup 2023 team a few days ago. In this team, fast bowler Naseem Shah has been included in the team in place of injured Naseem Shah. Hasan Ali was out of the ODI format for almost 15 months due to poor form but has once again returned to the team and he would like to silence his critics with his performance. However, even before leaving for India, Hasan has come into the headlines for another reason.
Hasan Ali has recently given an interview in which he has given a statement regarding England's Test captain Ben Stokes. In his statement, Hasan Ali has said that if Stokes had been a part of the Pakistani team, his career would have ended in 2016 itself. It is noteworthy that in the final of the 2016 T20 World Cup, Carlos Brathwaite made West Indies the champion by hitting Ben Stokes for four consecutive sixes in the last over and England missed out on winning the final.
After the defeat in this match, it was believed that Stokes' career would be over but after that he worked so hard on himself that today he is not only the Test captain of England but also played an important role in helping England win the only ODI World Cup. Have done. Hasan Ali mentioned Ben Stokes because players in Pakistan are not supported as much as players from other countries and this is the reason why other teams are getting ahead of Pakistan.
If we look at Hasan Ali's career, he has played 60 ODI matches for Pakistan in which he has taken 91 wickets in his name. At the same time, he has also played 22 Test matches in which he has taken 78 wickets and 60 wickets in 50 T-20 matches. Hasan Ali played his last ODI match against West Indies on 12 June 2022, so if he is given a chance in the playing eleven, then it will be interesting to see whether he is able to prove himself or not.
