Pakistani fast bowler Hasan Ali, known for his energetic "generator" celebration, has suffered a rib injury while performing his signature move during a T20 Blast 2024 match for Warwickshire against Nottinghamshire. This is not the first time Ali's celebration has led to an injury, as he previously sprained his shoulder in 2018 while celebrating a wicket against Zimbabwe.
Ali, 29, has been struggling with injuries and form, which contributed to his exclusion from Pakistan's 15-man squad for the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. He has been participating in the T20 Blast 2024 for Warwickshire in an attempt to regain his place in the national T20 side.
In the match against Nottinghamshire, Ali claimed two wickets, playing a key role in Warwickshire's victory. However, he injured himself while celebrating the dismissal of Olly Stones. A video on social media shows Ali grimacing in pain as he completes his celebration.
The extent of Ali's rib injury is still unknown, but Warwickshire expects him to recover in time for their third T20 Blast match against Lancashire on June 7.
Ali's injury is a setback for both Warwickshire and Pakistan. Warwickshire will be hoping to have him back in action soon, while Pakistan will be hoping he can regain his form and fitness ahead of the T20 World Cup.
Pakistan, having lost the England series 0-2, will be hoping for a positive result when they take on the co-hosts USA to kick off their T20 World Cup campaign on Thursday.
