Hasan Ali battling back injury, might require surgery
The HinduDropped from the list of centrally contracted players, Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali is now staring at the possibility of being sidelined because of a back injury which might require surgery abroad. According to a reliable source in the Pakistan Cricket Board, Hasan, who has been battling injury problems since last year’s World Cup, is now suffering from a back pain after he appeared in the Pakistan Super League matches in February-March. “He has developed a back problem since late April and the PCB has sent his medical reports to medical experts in Australia and some other countries for advice,” the source said. “There are two options available for Hasan, either he undergoes a long-term therapy treatment or has surgery but everything will depend on the advice by the foreign experts,” the source said.
