Two days after announcing his withdrawal from Pakistan Super League (PSL 2021), Islamabad United's pacer Hasan Ali has taken a U-turn and has decided to play in the remainder of the competition.

Earlier this week, Hasan Ali had informed his franchise about leaving PSL 2021 midway and returning home due to personal reasons. However, in a press release from Islamabad United on Monday (June 14), Hasan clarified that he would be available for the remaining games as his wife has handled the situation at home.

“I was going through a personal family issue, which has been resolved thanks to my wonderful wife. She has assured me she will take care of it and wants me to concentrate on my cricket and my career.
"Hats off to such a wonderful partner. She has always stood by me through the hardest times and after consulting with her I have decided to stay on with Islamabad United for the remainder of PSL 6."

Hasan Ali also expressed his gratitude to the Islamabad United franchise for their support. Lastly, the right-arm fast bowler thanked fans for their prayers.
