Ali Hasan

Ali Hasan is a talented left-arm medium-fast bowler who has been named in Italy's 15-member squad for their historic debut at the 2026 T20 World Cup. Born on October 29, 2002, Hasan is a youthful and effective component of the Italian pace attack. He has honed his skills in the European domestic circuit, representing clubs such as Jinnah Brescia and Zurich Nomads, and has quickly established himself as a reliable wicket-taking option for the 'Azzurri' since his international debut in 2022.

Statistically, Hasan has demonstrated remarkable efficiency in the T20I format, maintaining a lean economy rate of 4.15 across his early appearances. His career is highlighted by an exceptional bowling average of 10.37 and best figures of 3/9, achieved against Spain. In addition to his international work, Hasan has been a prolific performer in the European Cricket Series (ECS), where he has claimed 30 wickets with a strike rate of 11.00. As Italy prepares to face world-class batting lineups in Group C, including England and the West Indies, Hasan's ability to provide breakthroughs with his left-arm angle will be a key tactical asset for captain Wayne Madsen.
