Yorkshire County Cricket Club is delighted to announce Hassan Ali will return to the Club in 2027 on a two-year Blast contract.
Ali played an instrumental role in Yorkshire’s advance to this year’s T20 Blast quarter-final, finishing as the tournament’s leading wicket taker. He claimed 27 wickets at an average of just 13.
The Pakistan international also shared a 56-run partnership with fellow Blast recruit AJ Tye to secure a memorable two wicket victory over Derbyshire, hitting 31 from 12 balls.
Ali quickly became a fan favourite and the Club have moved swiftly to secure the future services of the right arm fast bowler.

Having signed for the White Rose again, Hassan said, “My time at the Club this year was brilliant, and I really enjoyed playing with the lads. We played some great cricket. Whilst it was disappointing in how our T20 season finished, there’s a lot to build on and I’m excited to get back to Headingley.”
Gavin Hamilton, General Manager of Cricket added, “Hassan’s impact this year went beyond the pitch. The experience he brought to our white ball squad contributed massively to our development in this format.
“Anthony [McGrath, YCCC Head Coach] and I have consistently said we want to build long term relationships with overseas players to provide that continuity that we value so highly. Hassan signing for a further two years is an illustration of that.
“We’re all looking forward to getting Hassan back ahead of the Blast next year.”
