In what was explained as a setback for the Pakistan cricket team, fast bowler Hassan Ali will not be part of the XI against England at Trent Bridge today.

Due to a strained left leg, Hassan Ali took a break in the first of the three T20Is against England. As a precaution, he chose his left leg in a training session at Trent Bridge on Thursday.

The fast bowler will now be evaluated before the second T20I, and then it will be decided whether or not to participate.

Pakistan faces England in the first T20I today

On Friday, Pakistan will try to get rid of their embarrassing 3-0 ODI series losing to the second choice England team as they face the hosts in the first T20I at Trent Bridge.

The England team will be bolder due to the return of captains Eoin Morgan, Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali and Jos Buttler, and four others who had to complete the quarantine after seven members of the team tested positive for the coronavirus period.

Trent Bridge will provide flat wickets and shorter boundaries, allowing the batter to score more points. Pakistan found its form when hitting the ball, scoring an amazing 331 points in the third and final ODI.

Despite the outstanding performance of the captain Babar Azam, the England team succeeded in pursuing the target, but the visiting team lost bowling and Pakistan’s bowling.

The Pakistan captain has said that the team’s goal is to rebound in the series.

“At the international level, when you play against top teams, the error is negligible. When you are missing one or two departments, you have to improve those. I believe bad days will come, but efforts will rebound in the coming. Rebound in the T20 series,” he said.

The game is scheduled to start at 10:30 PM Pacific Standard Time.
