Saim Ayub Recovery Hopes Rise With Hasan Ali
With a promising career ahead, Saim Ayub's recovery is crucial for Pakistan's cricket team, and Hasan Ali's confidence in him is a testament to his talent and potential, as he works towards regaining full fitness and contributing to the team's success in upcoming matches, including the T20I series against New Zealand and the HBL Pakistan Super League 2025.
Pakistan cricketer Hasan Ali has expressed his confidence in opening batsman Saim Ayub, believing he will make significant contributions to the team in the future, despite being sidelined with a fractured ankle that has kept him out of several key matches, including the two-Test series against West Indies and the 2023 Champions Trophy.
Ayub, 22, had shown promising form before his injury, scoring three ODI centuries and a career-best 98 not out in T20Is. His recovery is being closely monitored, with a key medical assessment scheduled to determine his participation in the upcoming HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025, which begins on April 11. The medical evaluation will involve British specialists and will decide whether he can return to competitive cricket.
Hasan Ali's backing of Ayub comes as the young opener undergoes rehabilitation from his ankle injury sustained during the Cape Town Test against South Africa in January. Initially expected to recover within six weeks, Ayub missed the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and Pakistan's white-ball tour of New Zealand as a precautionary measure. His team, Peshawar Zalmi, where he is listed in the Platinum category, will be closely monitoring the results of his medical assessment.
As Saim Ayub continues his rehabilitation process, including exercising in the gym, hopes are rising that he will be fully fit for the HBL Pakistan Super League 10, which starts on April 11, 2025. The Pakistan cricket team and fans will be eagerly awaiting his return, given his potential to score plenty of runs for the team in the future.
