Hasan Ali Secures Two-Year T20 Blast Deal With Yorkshire
Yorkshire say the signing locks in the competition’s top 2026 wicket-taker to help build continuity and experience in their white-ball squad.
Overview
- Yorkshire have confirmed Hasan Ali on a two-year T20 Blast contract that covers the 2027 and 2028 seasons, making his short-term loan into a multi-year signing.
- Hasan finished the 2026 Blast as the leading wicket-taker with 27 wickets in 12 matches after joining Yorkshire earlier in the season as an injury replacement.
- The club’s general manager, Gavin Hamilton, said Hasan’s influence extended beyond bowling because his experience helped develop younger players in Yorkshire’s white-ball setup.
- Hasan’s match-winning performances included dismissals of Lewis Gregory and Craig Overton in the quarter-final that saw Yorkshire bowl Somerset out and reach the Blast knockouts for the first time in four seasons.
- The move is part of a wider early off-season push for multi-year overseas pace options, with Somerset confirming Riley Meredith’s return and counties prioritising continuity and specialist fast-bowling in T20 squads.
