Pakistan’s fast bowler Hassan Ali is recovering well from his groin injury. However, he has been
ruled out of Pakistan’s first Test against West Indies, starting on Friday.
Hassan had suffered groin injury on Monday while fielding during Pakistan’s three-day practice match
in Montego Bay ahead of the first Test.
Clinical assessments following injury to Hassan Ali had found strain to one of his adductor
muscles.
A PCB statement on Thursday said that Hassan is well on track of recovery, but confirmed that Hassan
is yet to make a successful return to full training in attempt to make himself available for
selection.
“Hasan Ali has been recovering well and is on track with his recovery from his adductor muscle injury
in the groin. He has been committed to his rehabilitation and we are happy with his progress to
date,” said PCB in a statement issued from Jamaica.
“He will make a successful return to full training over the coming days, and regain appropriate match
fitness to return to play,” the statement added.
23-year-old Hasan Ali was included in Pakistan’s Test squad for the first time. He has played 16 ODIs
and 7 T20Is for Pakistan and has yet to make his Test debut.
