Asia Cup 2022: Pak pacer Hasan Ali joins squad ahead of India-Pakistan match
Dubai (UAE), August 28: Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali has arrived in Dubai ahead of Sunday's Asia Cup opener against India, according to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
The development comes as the Pakistan team faced another blow ahead of the clash against India as their fast bowler Mohammad Wasim was been ruled out of the T20 Asia Cup due to a left side strain. Now, Hasan Ali has been named as his replacement.
Team management has opted to keep Wasim on the team to complete his rehabilitation.
Team India and Pakistan will square off in a widely anticipated clash to kick off their Asia Cup campaigns, or in India's case, their title defence.
