Pakistan have released fast bowler Hasan Ali from their squad for the four-game T20I series against England, which begins on Wednesday in Leeds.

The 29-year-old Ali had been included in the Pakistan squad as an injury cover for fast bowler Haris Rauf. However, the team management has now decided to let Hasan continue his commitments in county cricket for Warwickshire.

"The team management has decided to let Hasan Ali continue his commitments in county cricket," the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a press release on Wednesday.

"Initially, Hasan was selected as an injury cover for Haris Rauf," it added.

Hasan's most recent appearance came in the third T20I against Ireland, where he bowled three overs and conceded 42 runs without a wicket. After his withdrawal from the series against England, his chances of making Pakistan's T20 World Cup squad appear to be over.

In Ali's absence, Abbas Afridi, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Amir and Naseem Shah will form Pakistan's pace attack during their series against England.

Notably, Pakistan are yet to name their squad for the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA. However, they must submit a final list of 15 names to the ICC before Saturday's deadline.

Ahead of their series against England, Pakistan captain Babar Azam said that they are focused on fine-tuning their strategies and combinations before the T20 World Cup.

"I am confident that Pakistan will carry the winning momentum from the Ireland series into the England T20Is. Our 2-1 victory in Dublin showcased the brilliance of our batters and bowlers, while also providing us with learnings as we aim to work on our areas of improvement," said Babar.

"We’ve had productive training sessions at Headingley and with head coach Gary Kirsten linking up with the squad, we are focused on fine-tuning our strategies and combinations for the four T20Is against England and T20 World Cup," he added.

Squads:

England: Jos Buttler (captain), Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Tom Hartley, Will Jacks, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Reece Topley and Mark Wood

Pakistan: Babar Azam (captain), Abrar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Rizwan, Muhammad Irfan Khan, Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Usman Khan

May 22: 1st T20I, Leeds

May 25: 2nd T20I, Birmingham

May 28: England 3rd T20I, Cardiff
