Hasan Ali opined that he is working on different aspects to get his mojo back.
"I am here at the National High-Performance Centre to work with coaches. I am working on the technical, tactical and mental aspects and looking forward to regaining the rhythm and stage a comeback in the national side," he added.
He is eyeing National T20 Cup to regain his confidence back. “I have an opportunity to showcase my skills in the National T20 and earn back the confidence of the selection committee, team management and captain to re-enter the national side.”
Hasan recalled how he made comeback in 2021 and too 41 Test wickets in the year – the third most for a bowler that calendar year.
“I am a fighter and I don’t give up,” he said. “Two years back when I was out due to injury, I made a comeback after performing in a domestic tournament (Quaid-e-Azam Trophy). Domestic cricket is a very important platform. It helps you to understand your game better and play with some quality cricketers. I will try to perform in the upcoming season so I make my international comeback soon.”
