Yorkshire confirm Hasan Ali return on two-year Blast contract

Hasan, 32, was signed as an injury replacement for Naveen-ul-Haq and was a revelation at Headingley, taking 27 wickets in 12 matches. He had success both with the new ball and at the death, and helped Yorkshire qualify for the knockout stages for the first time in four seasons.

The club hopes that Hasan's decision to commit for the next two seasons will bring some continuity to Yorkshire's T20 side, which has seen a number of personnel changes in recent years.

Gavin Hamilton, Yorkshire's general manager, said: "Hasan'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, the club's 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. Hasan signing for a further two years is an illustration of that. We're all looking forward to getting Hasan back ahead of the Blast next year."

Meredith took 28 wickets when Somerset won the Blast title in 2025, and struck 14 times in eight games last season as they were pipped to the trophy by Northamptonshire.

"I'm looking forward to coming back to Somerset," he said. "There's a really good group of guys in the dressing room and it's a great place to play. I've loved my time in Taunton because it's a great club to be a part of. Hopefully, we can lift that trophy again next summer."
