Pakistan vs World XI: 5 Pakistani players who will be keenly watched

#2 Hasan Ali

Hasan Ali has cemented his spot in the Pakistan side

After Umar Gul's rapid downfall, Pakistan have looked at finding a quality right-arm fast bowler who can provide much-needed variety to their fast bowling attack which comprises mainly left-arm pacers.

Hasan Ali has been able to establish his own unique space in this Pakistan team, taking five wicket-hauls against Australia in Sydney and against Windies at Providence, Guyana.

Hasan depends on fine control of his variations along with a deadly, attacking bouncer. His back-of-the-hand slower ball and off-cutter are among the best in world cricket currently. They are very deceptive and take batsmen by surprise which is why he is so effective.

With Mohammad Amir scheduled to miss the series against the World XI, Hasan will be the leader of the bowling attack. Playing in front of the home crowd in Lahore, Hasan would be looking at proving his worth, and entertaining the crowds with his trademark celebration.
