Overview

• Hasan Ali accused the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) of showing favoritism by sending Saim Ayub to London for rehabilitation after his ankle injury during the South Africa tour.
• Ali questioned why similar medical care was not provided to other injured players, including himself, during his injuries in 2020.
• Saim Ayub, a rising star for Pakistan, has been ruled out of the Champions Trophy 2025 due to a right ankle fracture sustained in Cape Town.
• Ayub's absence has forced Pakistan to reshuffle their batting order, with out-of-form Babar Azam promoted to the opening position alongside Fakhar Zaman.
• Despite his criticism, Hasan Ali wished Ayub a speedy recovery and expressed hope for his future contributions to Pakistan cricket.
