Hasan Ali cricket comeback turned heads during Pakistan’s first T20I against Bangladesh at Gaddafi Stadium. The fast bowler delivered a career-best performance, taking five wickets in his return to international T20 cricket.

This was Hasan’s first T20I since May 2024. His absence was due to an elbow injury from July 2023. He recovered and made a stellar domestic return in Pakistan Super League season 10. He finished as the joint-second highest wicket-taker with 17 dismissals, earning his national team recall.

In the match, he took out both openers—Parvez Hossain Emon and Tanzid Hasan. Later, he dismissed Jaker Ali and Tanzim Hasan Sakib in a single over. He claimed his fifth wicket by catching Shoriful Islam, completing his maiden T20I five-wicket haul.
