Happy birthday legend @hamidhassanHH. The first recognisable face from Afghanistan. The first Afg player to feature in an overseas T20 league (BPL). It could have all been so different if not for the incident in 2012. https://twitter.com/VideosUnderdog/status/1267168997314719745

Bowlers don't dive . This is what happened in 2012. Never became fully fit after that. In fact, just before the 2019 WC, he had only bowled 20 overs. Before that, he hadn't even played a domestic game for 2 years. Came and bowled 140 KPH in the first match against Aus.

6-2-15-0 his figures in that match as Aaron Finch and David Warner struggled to get him away. The man was mentally strong. Did anything for his team. This is what Rashid Latif had to say about Hamid.

Will finish this thread with a tweet from 2012 https://twitter.com/IndianMourinho/status/245440166716657666?s=19
