Pakistan seamer Hasan Ali is gearing up for his first experience of county cricket, having inked a deal with Lancashire which will see him play six County Championship matches.
The 27-year-old is coming off the back of an excellent year in Test cricket, having ended 2021 as the third leading wicket taker with 41 at 16.07. Above him were India spinner Ravi Ashwin and Pakistan teammate Shaheen Shah Afridi, while directly below him was England legend James Anderson.
Anderson picked up 39 wickets at 21.74 last year and, after getting dropped for England's recent tour of the West Indies, he is set to feature in four of Lancashire's six matches before England's first Test of the summer against New Zealand in June. And Hasan is relishing the opportunity to play alongside the veteran seamer and pick his brains, admitting he has "a lot of questions to ask him".
