Hasan Ali Criticizes PCB for Unequal Treatment of Injured Players

The Pakistan pacer accused the cricket board of favoritism, citing special rehabilitation arrangements for young batter Saim Ayub after his injury.

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.
