Hassan is an famous Afghan cricketer who is famous as a right-arm fast bowler and a right-handed batsman.

The 35-year-old cricketer has mainly played as a bowler and made his international debut for Afghanistan in April 2009.

He last played for Hindukush Stars before taking over from Pakistan’s Umar Gul, whose contract ended earlier this year.

According to ACB, Hassan will step up into the role of bowling coach during Afghanistan’s upcoming three-match T20I series against Pakistan, with a one-year contract.

“Cricket has been my life over the past two-three decades and is in fact something that has been my passion for my whole life,” Hassan was quoted as saying in a release by the national board of the sport.

“It’s a difficult decision for me to retire from the game I love the most, but I’m doing this for the sake of my country and my team.

“At the same time, I’m honored and pleased to have the opportunity to take the role of the bowling coach of our national team. I have enjoyed every bit of my playing career with this team, and the opportunity to work with our young bowling group is something I am looking forward to. I’ve been watching our fast bowling group closely and am excited to work with them to make this group as strong as or even stronger than our spinning department.”

Hassan’s legacy

Before mauled by injuries within the last seven years, Hassan was considered the fastest bowler that Afghanistan had ever produced.

Hassan played his last ODI in the Men’s Cricket World Cup in 2019 and made his last T20I for Afghanistan in the T20 World Cup in 2021. He picked up 59 wickets in 38 ODIs and 35 T20I wickets in 25 appearances.
