Strongest Test playing XI featuring Under-26 players

#9 Hasan Ali

Hasan Ali

The 24-year-old Right-arm fast-medium bowler hails from Mandi Bahauddin in Punjab. What makes Hasan Ali such a special bowler are his variations. Unlike Rabada and Ngidi, who are about brute pace, Ali is a smart operator.

The bowler gained limelight after performing well in the domestic circuit as well as the 2016 Pakistan Super League, in which he played for Peshawar Zalmi and helped his side to top the points table. The following year, he also became Champions of the PSL with Peshawar Zalmi.

2017 was the breakthrough year for him. Hasan's brilliance at the 2017 Champions Trophy, where he picked 13 wickets in 5 matches, helped Pakistan to clinch the title. He was also named the Player of the Tournament.

Hasan made his Test debut on May 10, 2017, against Windies. In 7 Tests, he has picked up 25 wickets at an average of 25.16 and economy rate of 2.8.

The youngster bowls with maturity which is well beyond his years. He has also been highly successful for the Men in Green in ODIs and has picked up 75 wickets in 41 matches.

Pakistan's trend of producing World Class fast bowlers continues.
