Abrar about participating in the Bangladesh Tests: "Management's call"

RAWALPINDI: On Thursday, Abrar Ahmed, a developing spinner for Pakistan, revealed his thoughts about potentially playing for his country in the forthcoming two-match home series against Bangladesh.




Days before Pakistan and Bangladesh's first Test match, Abrar stressed at a press conference held here at Pindi Cricket Stadium that his job was to train hard and that the team management would decide whether or not he would be included in the playing XI. 

Abrar stated, "My responsibility is to work hard; management must determine whether to field me or not."

Abrar Ahmed also disclosed his intentions to become the national team's best spinner in the face of intense opposition from Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, and Imad Wasim. 

"Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, and Muhammad Nawaz are all incredibly skilled. I had the chance to pick their brains," Abrar remarked. "I put more effort into my mystery delivery, and my goal is to lead the team in spinning," he continued.


The enigmatic spinner offered additional insight into the possibility of being included in Pakistan's squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which is slated to take place in Pakistan in February and March. 

"Whether or not I play in Champions Trophy games will be determined by the selection committee," Abrar declared. The two-match Test series between Pakistan and Bangladesh will commence at Rawalpindi, with the first Test scheduled to begin on 21 August. 

Following that, the action will transfer to the National Bank Stadium in Karachi, where the second Test match will be contested from 30 August to 3 September.

Hero Imad Wasim leads Islamabad to a thrilling two-wicket victory in the PSL final.

Hunain Shah wins with the last ball as Multan falls in yet another thrilling match. Scoreboard  Islamabad United is the team that knows how to win PSL finals, even though Multan Sultans may have the recipe for getting there. For the Sultans, it was deja vu as they watched another PSL final be stolen from them in a low-scoring thriller ending. United's hero was Imad Wasim, who defied time with an incredible all-around effort. He claimed five wickets and was out in the middle when Hunain Shah angled the final delivery behind point to win United's third title. In Karachi today, the drama of the previous year's epic final, which the Sultans lost by a run, was undoubtedly surpassed. At several points during both innings, United looked to have won that match, but never more so than when they got the Sultans down to 127 for 9. However, Iftikhar Ahmed's cameo of an unbeaten 32 off 20 balls lifted the Sultans to 159, a score that they felt they had just about enough manpower to ...
