Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali has been subjected to massive criticism in the last one month or so. The right-arm pacer endured a tough time in this year’s T20 World Cup as he delivered one expensive spell after another. Moreover, he dropped a crucial catch of Australia’s Matthew Wade in the semi-finals and the same saw Pakistan getting knocked out of the global tournament.

Meanwhile, the right-arm pacer has made headlines for controversial reasons once again. Addressing the media following the Pakistan Super League 2021 players’ draft on Sunday (December 12), Hasan got indulged in a heated argument with a journalist. While the Islamabad United bowler answered many queries, he opted to avoid answering a particular journalist.

The media personnel couldn’t even complete his question as Hasan interrupted him in between and said: ‘Next question please.’ He said the same thing multiple times as the journalist tried to put his question up front. Disappointed by the pacer’s behavior, the journalist retaliated, saying ‘this is not a good behavior.’

Hasan then reacted saying, “First you write good things on Twitter, and then I’ll give answers. Ok? You shouldn’t be personal with anyone.” “As PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) can’t stop you (from asking questions), at least we have the right,” he added further. With the 27-year-old losing his cool, the other Islamabad United officials tried to calm him down.

For the unversed, the journalist asking question was Anas Saeed, who had slammed Hasan Ali on Twitter earlier this year for not following COVID-19 protocols. “Simply put, according to the protocol, it is necessary to wear a mask while traveling. Those who take it off may be fined,” he tweeted while sharing a clip of Hasan having fun with his teammates in a flight.

Reacting to the clip, Hasan wrote: “Don’t create drama please with old videos. Check your facts first. No need to give fake masala, expect better from u.”
