The decision to rest him from the first T20I is precautionary as the team management does not want him to aggravate his injury further. His participation in the second T20I is doubtful but a final decision will be made after further assessments.
Hasan was one of Pakistan’s leading fast bowlers in the three-match ODI series, having picked up 6 wickets at an average of 25.50 in three matches. His best performance came in the second ODI as he made it to the Lord’s honors board with a magnificent five-wicket haul.

Hasan’s absence in the team could lead to a potential debut for Mohammad Waseem Jnr, who was one of the leading emerging players in the sixth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
