Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Hassan first got noticed in 2006 while playing for Afghanistan against MCC and earned high praise from the likes of Mike Gatting and John Stephenson. He then toured England later that year, playing games against the second XIs.
Hassan made his ODI debut for Afghanistan in the World Cup Qualifier in 2009. He ended the tournament becoming the second leading wicket-taker with 18 wickets. Although, Afghanistan did not qualify for the World Cup, they earned ODI status. Hassan's fine efforts in the slog overs and 12 crucial wickets, also helped his side to qualify for the World T20 2010 in the West Indies. Afghanistan lost both their games in that tournament, but Hassan put up a decent show against India and South Africa.
While international opportunities were few, Hassan kept on performing consistently at the domestic level. During Afghanistan's tour to Scotland in 2010, he took his first five-fer in First-Class cricket in the Intercontinental Cup. It was also his maiden 10-wicket haul as Afghanistan won by 229 runs. For the next two Intercontinental Cups, he registered some exceptional figures, handing Afghanistan huge victories. Hassan also won a silver medal at the 2010 Asian Games cricket competition.
Hassan has also played for the Afghan Cheetahs team in the Faysal Bank T20 Cup in 2011-12. In 2012 he was bought by Barisal Burners for a reported amount of $40,000 to play in the Bangladesh Premier League.
Hassan played only one game in the 2014 Asia Cup but was very economical, registering figures of 2/26 in the match against Bangladesh. After making his T20I debut against Scotland in 2010, Hassan has turned out to be a crucial bowler, who has picked up important wickets whenever needed.
His best bowling performance came recently against UAE on December 4, 2014. In that game, he picked up five wickets for 45 runs, but Afghanistan still ended up on the losing side.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
In June 2007, Hamid Hassan became the first Afghanistan cricketer ever to play at Lord's when he took 1 for 23, representing MCC against a select Europe XI. Little more than 6ft tall, with a smooth and athletic run-up, his fast arm surprises batsmen and he has a natural full-of-a-length delivery, swinging the ball both ways at pace. A reasonable tailender and with excellent hands in the outfield, Hassan - softly spoken yet fiercely ambitious - represents the talent which exists in Afghanistan.
The match at Lord's was a significant step for a bowler whose family fled the bombs of Jalalabad when he was six, and who subsequently learned the game in Peshawar where thousands of his countrymen sought refuge. His family, all of whom hated the game, did their best to encourage education but Hassan's determination - he played the game in secret for years - eventually won them over. He was first spotted when playing for Afghanistan in March 2006 in Mumbai when they defeated an MCC side led by Mike Gatting, where the then MCC president, Robin Marlar, noticed his potential, and was stunned to see him bowling in flat trainers. Hasan toured England with the national side in 2006, playing several matches against county second XIs, winning them all and was drafted onto MCC's groundstaff where he bowled against his hero, Andrew Flintoff, and was quick enough to smash Monty Panesar's helmet in the nets.
He ventured north to play for Norden CC in the Central Lancashire League the following year and represented Afghanistan in the 2009 World Cup Qualifiers, where his whippy action on a corrugated pitch earned him his first five-wicket haul, helping his side upset the tournament favourites Ireland. His once apathetic family celebrated back home by sacrificing a lamb and handing it around the small village to poor people.
Although Afghanistan missed out on World Cup qualification, they earned ODI status and at their next qualifying event - for the World Twenty20 - Hassan's incisive death bowling and 12 wickets played an important part in their qualification for the tournament in the West Indies. It appears the only thing that might be able to limit Hassan's ambition is the frailty of his own body. In 2012 a knee injury necessitated two operations, and he missed out on the World T20 qualifying final against Ireland in 2013. When he's fit, he completes Afghanistan's varied bowling attack, and his pace, reverse swing and yorkers make him Associate cricket's most lethal bowler.
