Fast bowler Hassan Ali will not be a part of the playing XI today (Friday) for the first T20I against England as the team management has decided to rest him.
The right-arm pacer has been affected by a leg strain which has forced the management to rest him. Ali picked up the leg strain during a practice session on Thursday at Trent Bridge.
The fast bowler will now be assessed ahead of the second T20I, following which decision on his participation will be made.
