Ex-Pakistan skipper Ramiz Raja has admitted that he was less than impressed with pace bowler Mohammad Abbas’ performance during the Test series against South Africa.

Abbas missed the first Test as he was still recovering from a shoulder injury, but he did feature in the second and third Tests.

In those two matches, he took five wickets at a disappointing average of 46.20.

Explaining why he was unimpressed with Abbas, Ramiz was quoted by the Business Recorder as saying: “The situation and pitches were ideally made for him to perform. It may be due to the shoulder injury he was a bit [unprepared].”
