Pakistan batsman Haider Ali has expressed his happiness and gratitude after he received a central contract for the 2020-2021 season.
Along with Haider, fast bowlers Mohammad Hasnain and Haris Rauf were included in the newly-created Emerging Players’ Category in the list of centrally contracted players.
The youngster is seen by many former and current Pakistan cricketers as a star in the making, especially after his impressive performance in this year’s Pakistan Super League (PSL), where he played for the Peshawar Zalmi .
The 19-year-old scored 239 runs in nine matches at an average of 29.87 and a strike-rate of 158.27.
