Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali is committed to rejoining Warwickshire for the 2025 season, where he will feature in all formats.
His availability is expected from the start of the T20 Blast in May through to the end of September. After undergoing surgery and completing a rehabilitation program jointly managed by Warwickshire and Pakistan's medical teams, Hasan has fully recovered and resumed bowling at full intensity.
"I said last year that Edgbaston felt like a second home to me but it's becoming more like a first home now," Hasan said. "I love playing for Warwickshire, playing for the Bears fans. And I hope they see, by the way I play, how much I want to win for this club.
"Being awarded my White Bear Cap in 2023 was among the proudest moments of my career, and I want to create many more special memories with the Bears next season.
"Last year was unlucky with the injury. I felt I was bowling well and taking plenty of wickets in the Blast. But now I'm back bowling at 100 percent in training and focused on joining up with Warwickshire next season."
The right-arm pacer has been an impressive performer for Warwickshire, taking 27 wickets in nine County Championship appearances across the 2023 and 2024 seasons, alongside 19 wickets in the T20 Blast.
However, his availability in 2024 was disrupted by a late recall to Pakistan's squad for the T20 World Cup, limiting his time with the county.
Warwickshire head coach Mark Robinson expressed optimism about his return, confirming that discussions with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had ensured an uninterrupted stint for the pacer in 2025.
"His call-up last May came out of the blue and took Hasan away from our County Championship start. We've had reassurances this year from the PCB that Hasan will be able to focus on the Bears, which is great news.
