According to Cricinfo::
"Warwickshire's head coach, Mark Robinson, said they had been in contact with the PCB about securing the player, who is no longer centrally contracted, for an unbroken spell.
Robinson said: "His call-up last May came out of the blue and took Hasan away from our County Championship start. We've had reassurances this year from the PCB that Hasan will be able to focus on the Bears which is great news."

That would be great if it came from anyone other than the PCB! Change their mind more than a weather vane!

In theory having him until the end of the season is a bonus.

In reality he will probably be injured or messed around by Pakistan. I wouldn't say he's on the slide, we just didn't get good value out of him.

That's a massive blow. He's saved/won aot of games in his time here

All we can do now is thank him for his service.

34 overs in and Miles hasn't bowled, any reason? Or just lack of faith from management and captain

Surely the end of the road for Robinson and probably others in the coaching staff

Oh dear

What a fabulous innings from Smith

Let's try and avoid another white ball knockout stage collapse.

Need Taylor out else we might be chasing 300

This does scupper our chances and seem like an odd time to have a game if you're not gonna pick the best players available.

Wylie for Yates as said above. Perhaps the new lad Malik comes in for Sheikh?

Would anything less than a white ball trophy and avoiding relegation be classed as a successful season from here?

So I'm assuming 18:30 then for this. There has absolutely been time since the rain stopped for 10 overs

What is the latest time they can play to in this comp?

Off again. We must be pretty close to an abandonment as can only lose up to 8 more overs

I can only think that they won the toss and made the choice before they knew it would be rain affected? The forecast this morning didn't suggest it would be as affected as it has been. Even so, they looked like bowler friendly conditions this morning.

I left the ground at 1:45 as thought the covers were gonna be doing the hokey cokey all day. But looks line we might finally be getting some play!

Back bowling in the Hundred tonight.

Let's how he can stay fit for the rest of that tournament and be back for us come Blast QF.
