Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali sustained a head injury while attempting to take a catch.
In a concerning moment early on Day 1 of the second Test between Bangladesh and Pakistan, fast bowler Hasan Ali was briefly taken off the field after a worrying fall during his follow-through while going for a catch. The incident left him visibly shaken, with the pacer immediately holding his head after hitting the turf. Pakistan’s medical staff quickly attended to him and he was taken off the ground on a stretcher as a precautionary measure, however, Hasan later made his way back onto the field and resumed his bowling spell.
The incident took place on the penultimate delivery of the eighth over when Bangladesh opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim tried to play across the line but instead got a leading edge.
The ball popped back toward the bowler’s right, prompting Hasan to dive in an effort to complete the catch, but he lost balance in the process and landed heavily. Salman Agha stepped in to finish the over for Pakistan.

Bangladesh also made adjustments, handing a debut to Tanzid Hasan Tamim while dropping Shadman Islam and replacing Ebadot Hossain with Shoriful Islam.
