Mohammad Ali (born 1 November 1992) is a Pakistani cricketer who has played for the national team in all three formats.[1][2] He made his Test debut against England in December 2022.[3]

Domestic career

Pakistan

Ali made his first-class debut for Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited in the 2018–19 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy on 1 September 2018.[4] He was the leading wicket-taker for Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited in the tournament, with twenty-five dismissals in five matches.[5] He made his List A debut for Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited in the 2018–19 Quaid-e-Azam One Day Cup on 8 October 2018.[6] In April 2023, he was named in Pakistan A's squad for their first-class and List A series against Zimbabwe.[7]

During the 2025-26 domestic season, Ali became the first bowler to take more than 100 wickets in a single Pakistani first-class season since Wasim Akram in 1998-99.[8]

England

In January 2026, he agreed a short-term contract to join England's Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club as an overseas player for the final two months of that year's County Championship season.[9][10]

International career

On 16 March 2025, he made his T20I debut against New Zealand at Hagley Oval, during Pakistan's away tour.[11]

During Pakistan's tour of the West Indies in July 2026, Ali made a comeback to the Test squad after nearly two years, claiming 4 for 50 in the first innings of the first match, and was noted for his outswinger.[8]
