Naveen suffered a stress fracture in his right shoulder. He had already missed the T20 World Cup earlier this year and will not be available for his stint at Headingley. His absence is a setback for Yorkshire, who had originally signed the Afghan pacer for the competition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With Hasan, the club has found a proven performer in T20 cricket. The 31-year-old has significant experience, having represented Pakistan 57 times in T20 internationals and played in various leagues around the world. His previous performances in English domestic cricket have been impressive, taking 44 wickets at an average of 14.93 over three seasons with Warwickshire from 2023 to 2025. He is also in strong form in the Pakistan Super League.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Hasan is expected to be with Yorkshire throughout the Blast group stage. He will also play in two County Championship matches against Warwickshire and Leicestershire, adding depth to the squad across formats.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Yorkshire\u2019s general manager of cricket, Gavin Hamilton, recognised the disappointment of missing Naveen but expressed confidence in their recruit. \u201cWhile we're naturally disappointed that Naveen won't join us this year, in Hasan, we have an exceptional replacement.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
