LAHORE: Pakistan star pacer Hasan Ali celebrates his birthday on Friday (today). He turns 27. Born on 2nd July 1994, wily, skiddy fast bowler Hasan doesn’t fit the template of the Pakistan quick bowler no express pace, no reverse swing but he has plenty of variations under his belt. He made his first-class debut at the age of 19 and was impressive against Lahore Ravi with a four-wicket haul in the first innings. His career started with club cricket and he rose up to the regional Under-16 level but he did not make youth squads at national level. However, he managed to gain some attention in the 2015 National T20 Cup where he picked up eight wickets in four matches under the captaincy of Shoaib Malik. His 17 wickets at 17.05 in the National One-day Cup in 2016 helped him being promoted to the Pakistan side.
