National team bowling coach Waqar Younis has been impressed by fast bowler Hassan Ali's relentless attitude and says the way Hassan Ali has backed down is less than commendable.

 

Hassan Ali has been battling fitness issues for almost 2 years, during which time he suffered a fractured rib, dropped out of the national team, did not get a central contract, tried for a low back in domestic cricket for the first time, failed and then Rehab at the National High Performance Center, then made such a spectacular comeback in the middle of last year's Quaid-e-Azam Trophy that the world saw the performance in the home series against South Africa and now in the first Test against Zimbabwe.

 

Waqar Younis told Geo News over phone during a quarantine in Australia that Hassan Ali is a match-winner and an astonishing cricketer, be it bowling, batting or fielding, ready to kill 100%.

Hassan Ali completed 50 wickets in the first Test against Zimbabwe and was declared man of the match with 9 wickets.

 

The bowling coach said that the way Hassan Ali has backed down is less than commendable, Hassan Ali's brilliant backing is the result of his relentless attitude.
