Babar Azam-led Pakistan reveal T20 World Cup squad as Mohammad Amir, Imad Wasim return; Hasan Ali dropped

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuid04PFSmu8kqqH" /></p>

<p>Pakistan has named seamers Haris Rauf and Hasan Ali in the 18-man squad for the Ireland and England T20Is starting May 10. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said they will announce the final 15 for the 2024 T20 World Cup among these chosen 18 players before May 24 (the deadline). Besides these two pacers, keeper-batter Azam Khan and all-rounder Salman Agha also got picked.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Pakistan will play seven T20Is in the UK, three against Ireland and four against England, before leaving for the Caribbean and the USA for the 20-team tournament.</p>

<p>While returnees&nbsp;Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim retained their places for the UK tour, Pakistan dropped spinner Usama Mir and seamer Zaman Khan.&nbsp;</p>

Back then, the 28-year-old was slammed on social media platforms. It seems some fans have still not moved on from the clash and once again taunted the speedster.</p>

<p>After having enough of it all, Hasan lost his composure and engaged in a physical altercation before being dragged&nbsp;back by many present at the venue.<strong> Here's the clip which will surely send shockwaves:</strong></p>

Indian fan tells Hasan Ali 'you've huge fan-following in India', pacer wins hearts with epic reply - WATCH

<p>The Shaheens were recently dealt a major blow after another one of their top bowling prospects was ruled out of active contention after suffering an injury ahead of the forthcoming Asia Cup. In addition to losing their star&nbsp;pacer Shaheen Afridi to an injury, the Pakistan cricket team recently lost Mohammad Wasim Junior.</p>

<p>The Men in Green have suffered major setbacks even before they could set off on their Asia Cup campaign. Wasim, who previously pulled out of a training session, complaining of&nbsp;back pain, was effectively ruled out by the team's medical staff.</p>

Young Naseem Shah replaces pacer Hasan Ali as Pakistan announce squad for Asia Cup 2022

<p>Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali was viciously trolled online by the moral police after he recently shared a couple of pictures with his wife Samiya and their daughter from his vacation in the country. Ali, who is one of the key members of the Pakistan bowling attack across formats, has often been the target of trolls over his performances on the pitch. However, the fast bowler found himself on the receiving end of unnecessary trolling this time around over his wife's clothes and poses in the pictures shared by him.</p>

<p>Ali recently took to Instagram to share some pictures with his family from their vacation in Hunza, Pakistan. The Pakistan pacer can be seen sitting on a boat holding his daughter with his wife alongside them. While many appreciated the&nbsp;scenic photos, some trolls resorted to moral policing.</p>

<p>People went on to question the character and morals of the Pakistani cricketer and his wife while advising him to cover her face. Some also objected to Samiya's choice of clothes and the way she posed for the pictures with her husband. Some even dragged religion into it and asked Hasan to not show his wife's face to the public.</p>

Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali was viciously trolled online by the moral police after he recently shared a couple of pictures with his wife Samiya and their daughter from his vacation in the country.

Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali was viciously trolled online by the moral police after he recently shared a couple of pictures with his wife Samiya and their daughter from his vacation in the country. Ali, who is one of the key members of the Pakistan bowling attack across formats, has often been the target of trolls over his performances on the pitch. However, the fast bowler found himself on the receiving end of unnecessary trolling this time around over his wife's clothes and poses in the pictures shared by him. Ali recently took to Instagram to share some pictures with his family from their vacation in Hunza, Pakistan. The Pakistan pacer can be seen sitting on a boat holding his daughter with his wife alongside them. While many appreciated the scenic photos, some trolls resorted to moral policing. People went on to question the character and morals of the Pakistani cricketer and his wife while advising him to cover her face. Some also objected to Samiya's choice of clothes and the way she posed for the pictures with her husband. Some even dragged religion into it and asked Hasan to not show his wife's face to the public.

PAKvsWI: Pakistan's Hasan Ali rested, Sarfaraz Ahmed out of squad for West Indies series

<p>Babar Azam-led Pakistan had a terrific run in the T20 World Cup 2021 edition. However, the Men in Green couldn't replicate their 2009 edition's success and bowed out of the mega event in the second semi-final, losing to eventual winners Australia by 5 wickets.</p>

<p>Being asked to bat first in the semi-final encounter, in Dubai, Pakistan posted a competitive 176-4 riding on half-centuries from Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman. However, Australia managed to edge past the Men in Green courtesy Marcus Stoinis-Matthew Wade's unbeaten 81-run sixth-wicket stand. With 20 needed off 10 balls, Wade (41) was given a reprieve as Hasan Ali failed to hold onto a catch before Wade-Stoinis (40*) took Australia home.</p>

<p>Ahead of the Bangla Tigers' fifth encounter in the ongoing Abu Dhabi T10 league, former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Ali backed Hasan Ali as the speedster was trolled mercilessly for dropping Wade's catch, leading to Pakistan's elimination. Thus, Amir hit back at trolls and reflected back on Pakistan's 'proud campaign'.</p>

Md Amir hits back at trolls for Hasan Ali's dropped catch in T20 WC semis, reflects on Pak's campaign

<p>Pakistan got off to a winning start in the ongoing three-match T20I series against Bangladesh on Friday as they defeated the hosts by four wickets in a low-scoring thriller at the Shere Bangla Stadium in Dhaka. Pakistan held their nerves to chase down the target of 128 runs with four balls to spare after restricting Bangladesh for 127/7 in 20 overs.</p>

<p>Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali, who was subjected to vicious abuse after dropping a catch in the T20 World Cup 2021 semi-final against Australia, made a strong comeback as he bowled a magnificent spell against Bangladesh in Dhaka. Ali picked up 3 wickets while conceding only 22 runs off his four overs against the hosts to help Pakistan restrict them on a low-key total.</p>

<p>While Ali&nbsp;produced an exceptional performance, what caught the eye of many was the speed gun when it showed that the Pakistan fast bowler had clocked an unbelievable 219 kph. The incident happened in the second over of Bangladesh's innings when Ali was bowling against Najmul Hossain Shanto.</p>

<p>It was certainly an error on the speed gun as it showed that the delivery was bowled at 219 km/hr or 136.1 mph on the television screens. Fans were left baffled on social media as the fastest delivery ever bowled in cricket history was clocked at 161.3 kph by former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar against England in the 2003 ODI World Cup.</p>

<p>The Rawalpindi Express' record of fastest delivery remains intact as it was a speed gun error in Hasan Ali's case.</p>

Shoaib Akhtar's record broken? Twitter in shock as Hasan Ali clocks '219 kph' in 1st T20I against Bangladesh

<p>Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali was on the receiving end of horrific abuse as he was targeted on social media by trolls after he dropped Matthew Wade's catch in his side's semi-final clash against Australia on Thursday. Pakistan went on to lose the game by five wickets to bow out of the T20 World Cup 2021 as their unbeaten run in the tournament came to an end in the knockout tie.</p>

<p>Ali had a poor outing in the semi-final as he went wicket-less with the ball and ended up dropping Wade in the 19th over of Australia's run-chase. Wade went on to slam three consecutive sixes of Shaheen Afridi in the penultimate over to take Australia over the line comfortably and help them reach the final.</p>

<p>In the aftermath of Pakistan's defeat, Ali was brutally trolled online with some even targeting his partner and his religion over his mistake. The Pakistan pacer found support from the cricket fraternity as several current and former cricketers took to social media to criticise the abuse directed towards Ali.</p>

<p>The Pakistan fast bowler took to Twitter on Saturday to issue an apology to Pakistani fans. Ali said he was more disappointed than them and that the rough patch will make him stronger.</p>

<p>"I know you all are upset because my performance didn’t meet your expectations … but [you] are not more disappointed than me. Don’t change your expectations from me. I want to serve Pakistan cricket at the highest level possible, so back to hard work. This patch will make stronger,” Ali wrote in a tweet.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Pakistan enjoyed a dominant run in the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup 2021 as they remained unbeaten in all five matches. However, Babar Azam &amp; Co., who were being touted as one of the favourites for the title, were beaten by Australia in the semi-final to be sent packing from the tournament.</p>

<p>Australia and New Zealand will meet in the final of the tournament at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai on Sunday (November 14).</p>

Wade went on to slam three consecutive sixes of Shaheen Afridi in the penultimate over to take Australia over the line comfortably and help them reach the final. In the aftermath of Pakistan's defeat, Ali was brutally trolled online with some even targeting his partner and his religion over his mistake. The Pakistan pacer found support from the cricket fraternity as several current and former cricketers took to social media to criticise the abuse directed towards Ali. The Pakistan fast bowler took to Twitter on Saturday to issue an apology to Pakistani fans. Ali said he was more disappointed than them and that the rough patch will make him stronger. "I know you all are upset because my performance didn’t meet your expectations … but [you] are not more disappointed than me. Don’t change your expectations from me. I want to serve Pakistan cricket at the highest level possible, so back to hard work. This patch will make stronger,” Ali wrote in a tweet. Pakistan enjoyed a dominant run in the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup 2021 as they remained unbeaten in all five matches. However, Babar Azam & Co., who were being touted as one of the favourites for the title, were beaten by Australia in the semi-final to be sent packing from the tournament. Australia and New Zealand will meet in the final of the tournament at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai on Sunday (November 14).

Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali apologises to fans after facing horrific abuse over his dropped catch vs Australia

<p>Pakistan fast bowler Hasan Ali had a disappointing outing in his side's T20 World Cup 2021 semi-final clash against Australia on Thursday. While he went wicket-less with the ball, he ended up being on the receiving end of vicious abuse on social media after dropping Matthew Wade's catch in the 19th over of Australia's run chase.</p>

<p>Australia defeated Pakistan by five wickets in the semi-final as they successfully chased down the target of 177 runs with an over to spare. Wade, who was the hero of Australia's victory scored an unbeaten 41 off 17 balls including three consecutive sixes of Shaheen Afridi in the penultimate over to take Australia over the line in a thrilling chase.</p>

<p>Hasan has been brutally trolled on social media by Pakistani fans, with some of them even dragging his family into the matter. While several former and current cricketers, including Pakistan captain Babar Azam have urged the fans to not abuse the fast bowler, former Indian opener Virender Sehwag has also shared his views on the matter.</p>

<p>Sehwag said any country which loses a big game usually reacts as the Pakistani supporters have but he insisted that it is the same team that they had supported when they were winning. Shewag said the players deserve to have the backing of the fans even when the team is losing.</p>

<p>"Anyone who loses usually reacts in such a manner. So entire Pakistan would be blaming Hasan Ali for their loss. After he dropped the catch, Wade hit three sixes in three balls and finished the match. I think their anger is justified but it's the same Pakistan team they supported and so when they lose they should still be supported," Sehwag said in a video shared on his Facebook page.</p>

'Anger is justified but..': Virender Sehwag reacts to Hasan Ali facing vicious abuse over dropped catch

<p>Social media platforms have several pros as well as cons. While it has brought the general public closer to their idols and celebrities from various fields, it has also given plenty of them a chance to troll or abuse some big names; serving as a huge drawback.</p>

<p>Hasan Ali, Pakistan's premier speedster, was subject to vicious online abuse on Thursday evening (November 11) after his costly dropped catch -- off Matthew Wade -- led to Babar Azam-led Men in Green's semi-final defeat to Australia in the T20 World Cup 2021 edition.</p>

<p>With the match evenly poised, with 20 required off 10 balls, Wade and Marcus Stoinis' unbeaten partnership kept Aaron Finch &amp; Co. alive in their 177-run chase versus the one-time winners. As Wade tried to smack Shaheen Afridi for a huge six, Hasan made a mess of a relatively easy catch before Wade-Stoinis took Australia home with an over to spare. Following this, Hasan has been trolled and abuse mercilessly on social media platforms. Here are some tweets where the cricketer has been trolled on religious grounds:</p>

<p>For the unversed, the 27-year-old is also married to&nbsp;Samiya Hasan Ali -- an Indian national who was&nbsp;born and brought up in Haryana -- and, hence, some comments have been extremely harsh on the pacer for his matrimonial status:</p>

Hasan Ali trolled mercilessly on religious grounds and marital status after Pakistan's T20 WC exit

Pakistani paceman Hasan Ali was mercilessly trolled for his team's defeat in the T20 World Cup semi-final. Disgruntled fans are targeting his wife, his mother his 'Shia' identity. Here's what Palki Sharma has to say.

Gravitas: Pakistan's Hasan Ali subjected to vile abuses & threats

<p>Matthew Wade needed a stroke of luck to drive Australia to the Twenty20 World Cup final, but he refused to label it a watershed moment in their thrilling semi-final triumph over Pakistan on Thursday.</p>

<p>Chasing 177, Australia needed 22 runs off the final two overs against a Pakistan squad that had surged into the semi-finals as the tournament's only team with a perfect group record.</p>

<p>In the last over from Shaheen Afridi, Hasan Ali dropped Wade, and the Australian wicketkeeper replied by smashing three sixes in a row to win a thrilling triumph with one over to spare.</p>

<p>Wade was named man-of-the-match for his unbeaten 41 off 17 balls, while Marcus Stoinis contributed a crucial unbeaten 40.</p>

T20 WC: Hasan Ali's dropped catch was not the turning point: Matthew Wade on Australia's semi-final win

<p>Pakistan speedster Hasan Ali was subject to severe criticism post the Babar Azam-led Men in Green's five-wicket loss at the hands of Australia in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2021 edition. On Thursday evening (November 11), Babar &amp; Co. were asked to bat first as they posted a competitive 176-4 but failed to defend the score despite dominating the proceedings till the 15th over of Aaron Finch-led Australia's run-chase.</p>

<p>Finch &amp; Co. were tottering at 96-5 and needed 50 runs off 4 fours. However, Marcus Stoinis' 40&nbsp;not out and Matthew Wade's 41* took the Aussies home, with an over to spare. In the penultimate over, Wade took on in-form bowler Shaheen Afridi. He smacked him for three consecutive sixes but had also given a regulation catch to Hasan, stationed at the deep.</p>

<p>Nonetheless, the 27-year-old speedster Hasan made a mess of the catch and gave Wade a reprieve. Thus, he was trolled mercilessly on social media platforms on religious grounds and marital status. Now, Pakistan women cricket's current captain Bismah Maroof has supported Hasan in a heartfelt post on Twitter.</p>

<p>With the ball in hand, Hasan also had a forgettable outing as he returned with 4-0-44-0.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Post Pakistan's defeat, Babar said at the post-match presentation, "I thought we scored as many runs as we had planned in the first innings. I think if we give such teams a chance in the back end, it is going to be costly. The turning point was that dropped catch. Had we taken it, the scenario could have been different. The way we gelled and played the entire tournament, I am satisfied as a captain. Hopefully we'll learn from this for the next tournament.

Pakistan speedster Hasan Ali was subject to severe criticism post the Babar Azam-led Men in Green's five-wicket loss at the hands of Australia in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2021 edition.

Pakistan speedster Hasan Ali was subject to severe criticism post the Babar Azam-led Men in Green's five-wicket loss at the hands of Australia in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2021 edition. On Thursday evening (November 11), Babar & Co. were asked to bat first as they posted a competitive 176-4 but failed to defend the score despite dominating the proceedings till the 15th over of Aaron Finch-led Australia's run-chase. Finch & Co. were tottering at 96-5 and needed 50 runs off 4 fours. However, Marcus Stoinis' 40 not out and Matthew Wade's 41* took the Aussies home, with an over to spare. In the penultimate over, Wade took on in-form bowler Shaheen Afridi. He smacked him for three consecutive sixes but had also given a regulation catch to Hasan, stationed at the deep. Nonetheless, the 27-year-old speedster Hasan made a mess of the catch and gave Wade a reprieve. Thus, he was trolled mercilessly on social media platforms on religious grounds and marital status. Now, Pakistan women cricket's current captain Bismah Maroof has supported Hasan in a heartfelt post on Twitter.

I think if we give such teams a chance in the back end, it is going to be costly. The turning point was that dropped catch. Had we taken it, the scenario could have been different. The way we gelled and played the entire tournament, I am satisfied as a captain. Hopefully we'll learn from this for the next tournament.

<p>Pakistan lost to Australia in the second semi-final in the T20 World Cup 2021 edition, being held in the UAE. On Thursday evening (November 10), the two sides met each other at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai to book a place in the final, with New Zealand already confirming their spot.</p>

<p>While many believed Babar Azam-led Pakistan were favourites to win the semi-final face-off and enter the summit clash, being the only unbeaten team in the competition, the Men in Green lost to Aaron Finch-led Australia by five wickets, failing to defend 176 on board.</p>

<p>Being asked to bat first, Babar &amp; Co. posted a competitive 176-4 riding on Mohammad Rizwan's 67 and Fakhar Zaman's 55 not out.

<p>Pakistan locked horns with Australia in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2021 edition, being held in the UAE, on Thursday evening (November 11). Despite being termed as favourites for the clash, Babar Azam-led Pakistan lost to Aaron Finch's Australia by five wickets as the Men in Green failed to defend 177 runs on board.</p>

<p>Being asked to bat first, Babar-led Pakistan posted a competitive 176-4, courtesy Mohammad Rizwan's 67 and Fakhar Zaman's 55*. In reply, Australia were reduced to 96-5 before Marcus Stoinis and Matthew Wade's unbeaten 81-run sixth-wicket stand took their side past the finish line.</p>

<p>In the penultimate over, Wade took on in-form bowler Shaheen Afridi in order to finish the proceedings. He gave a chance to Hasan Ali, stationed a the deep, before the pacer dropped a regulation catch. Hasan also returned wicketless in his four-over spell, finishing with 4-0-44-0. Thus, the 27-year-old has been mercilessly trolled by the Pakistani fans.</p>

<p>Wasim Akram, speaking to&nbsp;<em>A Sports</em>, has urged the nation to not add fuel to the fire by targeting 'poor Hasan Ali'.</p>

<p>"What we don’t want is that the whole country gets after poor Hasan Ali now. I have been through this, Waqar Younis has been through it. In other countries, it’s just a game for people. Next day, you say well-tried, bad luck, better luck next time, and move on," Akram told A Sports.</p>

<p>"This situation is as tough for the players as it is for the fans. The players will go to their rooms, they’ll be quiet, they won’t talk to their families and the defeat will haunt them. As a nation, we don’t want to add fire to that fuel," he added.</p>

He gave a chance to Hasan Ali, stationed a the deep, before the pacer dropped a regulation catch. Hasan also returned wicketless in his four-over spell, finishing with 4-0-44-0. Thus, the 27-year-old has been mercilessly trolled by the Pakistani fans.

"What we don’t want is that the whole country gets after poor Hasan Ali now. I have been through this, Waqar Younis has been through it. In other countries, it’s just a game for people. Next day, you say well-tried, bad luck, better luck next time, and move on," Akram told A Sports. "This situation is as tough for the players as it is for the fans. The players will go to their rooms, they’ll be quiet, they won’t talk to their families and the defeat will haunt them. As a nation, we don’t want to add fire to that fuel," he added.

I think if we give such teams a chance in the back end, it is going to be costly. The turning point was that dropped catch. Had we taken it, the scenario could have been different. The way we gelled and played the entire tournament, I am satisfied as a captain. Hopefully we'll learn from this for the next tournament. When you play so well throughout, there were small mistakes that cost us the match in the end. We gave players roles and they executed it really well. The way the crowds supported us, we enjoyed a lot as a team. We always enjoy playing here." Australia will now face New Zealand in the summit clash of the T20 WC 2021 edition, to be held on Sunday evening (November 14) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.

Wasim Akram asks Pak fans to go easy on 'poor Hasan Ali' after T20 WC semi-final loss vs Australia

<p>Babar Azam-led Pakistan thrashed Namibia by 45 runs in their fourth and penultimate game in the Super 12 round of the T20 World Cup 2021 edition, on Tuesday evening (November 2) at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi. With this win, the Men in Green have become the first-ever side to qualify for the T20 WC 2021 edition, being held in the UAE.</p>

<p>Choosing to bat first, Babar &amp; Co. were off to a slow start but had wickets in hand as they consolidated in the second-half of their innings to post a daunting 189/2, riding on Babar's 70, Mohammad Rizwan's 79* and Mohammad Hafeez's 16-ball 32*. In reply, Namibia did lose convincingly but they didn't surrender easily as they kept on fighting and posted a decent 144/5 courtesy Craig Williams' 40 and David Weise's 43* (31). With the defeat, Namibia are pretty much out of contention from the semi-finals race but once again the lowly-ranked side made heads turn with their fighting spirit and positive body language.</p>
