Pakistan’s pacer Hasan Ali has been declared fit by the medical panel and will be available for selection for the third Twenty20 International (T20I) against England in Manchester today.

Ali missed the first two T20Is as a “precautionary measure” following a left leg strain he sustained during training at Nottinghamshire's headquarters on Thursday.

The 27-year-old paceman took six wickets at an average of 25.5, including 5-51 at Lord's last week, during Pakistan's 3-0 one-day international series loss to England, the reigning 50-over world champions.

The three-match series is levelled at 1-1 with Pakistan winning the first T20I by 31 runs, while England bouncing back in the second match through a 45-run victory.

The Men in Green will keen on winning today’s match, along with the series, after a humiliating three-nil ODI series whitewash against a second string England side.
