Pakistan's fast bowler Hasan Ali is very happy at the reunion of the "roti gang" during a recent T20 match against Bangladesh, saying that it brought back many memories.

 

Speaking at a press conference in Lahore, Hasan opened up about his return to the national team, and future goals. He said the past few months had been particularly challenging, but delivering a strong performance for Pakistan brought him great happiness.

 

He credited his success to the hard work and training at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). "Even top players in the world go through ups and downs in form, but if you believe in yourself and keep working hard, your performance will eventually improve," he observed.

 

Hasan Ali shared happiness about reuniting on the field with his old teammates Shadab Khan, Faheem Ashraf, and Fakhar Zaman. "After six years, the 'roti gang' is playing together again. We really missed each other," he said with a smile.

 

Talking about the upcoming T20 World Cup, he said, "I will be available for the team whenever needed, and my goal will be to contribute through my performance." He also made it clear that he does not want to be limited to just one format. "I want to play for Pakistan in all three formats," he added.

 

When asked about the new bowling coach, Ashley Hasan said they are getting along well. "We share good conversations, and the learning process is going on."

 

To his fans, Hasan said, "Fans are like family to me. Their support gives me strength. I feel happy when they call me 'generator'."

 

He dedicated his recent strong performance to his wife and children, saying, "This day is special for them."

 

Hasan Ali also stressed that if Pakistan wants to win major tournaments, they must adopt a modern approach to the game, similar to how top international teams are playing today.

 

Pakistan defeated Bangladesh by 37 runs in the first T20 at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, with Hasan Ali taking five wickets in the match.
