Pakistan fast bowler Hasan Ali has agreed to return to his former country club Warwickshire and will be available to play all formats for the club throughout the 2025 season. His availability will begin from the T20 Blast which will take place in May and will extend all the way through to the end of September.

The 30-year-old has been absent from the grand scheme of things ever since he sustained an elbow injury at Edgbaston last year. After only five Vitality Blast appearances where he claimed 10 wickets, Hasan's campaign last year came to a premature end as a result of that injury. The speedster underwent surgery and has now been in rehab closely monitored by both Warwickshire and Pakistan's medical staff.

Hasan feels great to join forces with Warwickshire again

Hasan was thrilled to be back again for Warwickshire. Calling it his second home, his club is now starting to feel like his first home.  

"I said last year that Edgbaston felt like a second home to me…but it's becoming more like a first home now. I love playing for Warwickshire, playing for the Bears fans. And I hope they see by the way I play how much I want to win for this club."

He further added that being awarded the prestigious White Bear Cap in the 2023 season was one of the proudest moments in his cricketing career. That was by far, the most significant milestone he ever stumbled upon in his short yet impactful Country career.

"Being awarded my White Bear Cap in 2023 was among the proudest moments in my career and I want to make lots more special memories with the Bears next season." 

Warwickshire's head coach plays a key role in roping in Hasan Ali

Overall in nine County Championship appearances for Warwickshire across the 2023 and 2024 seasons, Hasan has taken 27 scalps, 19 of them have been in the T20 Blast alone. His availability was limited last summer due to an unexpected late call-up to Pakistan's squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup. However, Mark Robinson, the head coach of Warwickshire, stated that they had been in communication with the PCB regarding the acquisition of the player, who is no longer under a central contract, for a continuous period.
