Pakistan have added extra ammunition to their fast bowling attack after dropping out-of-form seamer Hasan Ali from their squad for the Asia Cup, which will be held in the UAE later this month.
Pakistan on Wednesday dropped under-performing fast bowler Hasan Ali for the tour of the Netherlands and the Asia Cup later this month. The 28-year-old was player of the tournament in Pakistan's Champions Trophy win in 2017. But Hasan took just three wickets in two Tests in Sri Lanka last month, claimed only three wickets for 222 runs in his last three one-day internationals and went wicket-less in two of his last three Twenty20 internationals. Chief selector Mohammad Waseem said Hasan needed a break. "Hasan has been given a break from international cricket and he has been replaced by Naseem Shah," Waseem said in a Pakistan Cricket Board statement.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Wednesday announced its 16-player squad for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League fixtures against the Netherlands from August 16-21 and a 15-member side for the ACC T20 Asia Cup, which will be played in the United Arab Emirates from August 27 to September 11. Fast bowler Naseem Shah has been named in both the squads in place of Hasan Ali, while Salman Ali Agha, who toured England in 2021 for the ODIs, has been recalled.
Jos Buttler's captaincy reign in white-ball cricket has not gotten off to a good start as England lost the three-match T20I series against South Africa. In the decider, the Three Lions suffered a 90-run loss after failing to chase down 192 runs. However, the game would be remembered for one of the most spectacular catches pulled off by Tristan Stubbs in the 10th over of England's innings.
Ronnie O’Sullivan has been gearing up for the new snooker season by taking part in the Championship League behind closed doors at the Morningside Arena in Leicester.
England took the lead in their T20 international series against South Africa on Wednesday evening after Jonny Bairstow continued his excellent season and Moeen Ali set a new batting record in Bristol.
Moeen Ali scored England’s fastest half-century in Twenty20 Internationals and Jonny Bairstow’s golden summer continued with a brutal 90 in a 41-run victory over South Africa on Wednesday in the first match of their three-game series. England posted a massive 234 for six in their 20 overs, helped by the small boundaries at the County Ground, as Moeen took 16 balls to reach 52 before he fell to South African seamer Lungi Ngidi who recorded career-best figures of 5-39.
Moeen Ali was pleased to claim bragging rights in the England dressing room, setting a new record with his country’s fastest ever fifty in Twenty20 cricket.
