Pakistan interim head coach Saqlain Mushtaq said fast bowler Hasan Ali is an “important player for us”.
Many people called for Hasan to be dropped after his disappointing performance in the T20 World Cup, where he took five wickets in six matches at an average of 41.40 and an economy rate of 9.00.
However, he turned things around in the T20 series against Bangladesh.
In the one game he played, Hasan had a major impact as he was named Man of the Match for his figures of 3-22 off four overs.
“An important player for us,” Mushtaq was quoted as saying by A-Sports.
Pakistan are currently playing a two-Test series against Bangladesh.
Pakistan squad for Bangladesh Test series: Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Abdullah Shafique, Abid Ali, Azhar Ali, Bilal Asif, Faheem Ashraf, Fawad Alam, Hasan Ali, Imam-ul-Haq, Kamran Ghulam, Mohammad Abbas, Mohammad Nawaz, Naseem Shah, Nauman Ali, Sajid Khan, Sarfaraz Ahmed (wicketkeeper), Saud Shakeel, Shaheen Afridi, Zahid Mahmood
