Pakistan's fast bowler Hasan Ali has been released from the T20I squad ahead of the team's upcoming series against England. 

The decision, announced by the team management, aims to allow Hasan to fulfill his commitments in county cricket.

Initially included in the squad as an injury cover for Haris Rauf, Hasan's release signals a shift in Pakistan's strategy. With the squad composition finalized and Rauf's fitness concerns presumably addressed, the management opted to give Hasan the opportunity to continue his cricketing endeavors elsewhere.

It is worth noting that, Hasan, known for his aggressive pace bowling, has been a vital asset for Pakistan in various formats of the game. However, in this instance, the team management has prioritized squad stability and consistency, allowing Hasan to focus on his county cricket stint.

England: Jos Buttler (c), Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Jonathan Bairstow, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Tom Hartley, Will Jacks, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Reece Topley, Mark Wood.
