The Pakistan cricket team is currently in a training camp in Rawalpindi, preparing for their upcoming three-match Test series against Australia. As part of their training, the players recently participated in a two-day scenario match at the Pindi Cricket Stadium.
On the third day of the training camp, pacer Hasan Ali caught everyone’s attention when he engaged in a freestyle wrestling match with the team’s masseur, Malang Ali. A video uploaded by Sports Paktv on their YouTube channel captured the moment when Hasan executed a double-leg takedown on Ali. Despite Ali’s attempt to counter with a single-leg takedown, Hasan successfully defended himself.
Former captain Babar Azam and current T20I skipper Shaheen Afridi were present at the scene, witnessing Hasan’s wrestling skills. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has also announced that Mohammad Wasim Jr. has joined the camp, along with three additional pacers who participated in the training session on the first day.
To prepare for the upcoming matches in Australia, the PCB added three more fast bowlers, Sameen Gul, Ali Shafique, and Muhammad Ali, to the camp roster. The team will conclude their training camp on November 28, before departing for Australia on November 29.
