Yorkshire County Cricket Club have confirmed the re-signing of Pakistan's Hasan Ali for the coming seasons of the T20 Blast. Despite the bowler being out of Pakistan's T20I plans at the moment, he has spent a few years playing the T20 Blast and remains a valuable addition to the team.
With Hasan Ali in the roster, Yorkshire reached the quarter-final in 2026 and lost to Somerset by a margin of 2 wickets and a ball remaining. They will continue their pursuit of the first T20 title after Ali's extension for the forthcoming seasons.
Yorkshire announce Hasan Ali's return
On Friday afternoon, Yorkshire County Cricket Club took to their official website and social media channels to confirm the signing of the experienced Pakistan medium pacer, Hasan Ali, for two seasons.
Previously, the 32-year-old was roped in as an injury replacement for Naveen-ul-Haq, but the bowler finished the season as the leading wicket-taker. He scalped 27 wickets in 12 innings at an economy rate of just over 8 runs per over, including the best figures of 4/18. Furthermore, he struck at 223.52 for 76 runs in 10 innings to earn a longer deal.
"Hassan’s impact this year went beyond the pitch. The experience he brought to our white ball squad contributed massively to our development in this format," Yorkshire's General Manager of Cricket, Gavin Hamilton, said in the press release.
"Anthony [McGrath, YCCC Head Coach] and I have consistently said we want to build long-term relationships with overseas players to provide that continuity that we value so highly. Hasan signing for a further two years is an illustration of that. We’re all looking forward to getting Hassan back ahead of the Blast next year," he added.
How has Hasan Ali performed in T20 Blast?
Before playing for the White Rose in 2026, Hasan Ali was one of the overseas players trusted by Warwickshire for three seasons in a row. He first appeared for them in 2023 and was a part of the side for three seasons, finishing with 44 wickets in 22 matches across three seasons. Overall, he has 71 wickets in 34 matches with the best of 6/23 in 2025.
With the bat, he has gotten a chance to walk out on 24 occasions and scored 168 runs at a very good strike rate of 160.
