Pakistan mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed has made it clear that there is “no problem” when it comes to his fitness.
His comments come after he was on the bench for Pakistan’s last few games until finally being included in the playing XI for the second Test against Bangladesh.
In the 2024 T20 World Cup, the 25-year-old was included in the squad, but didn’t play a single game as Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim were preferred over him.
As for the recent two-match Test series against Bangladesh, he was not selected in the playing XI for the first Test.
Despite having shown plenty of promise, Abrar insisted that his fitness levels are not responsible for him not getting picked.
“I am absolutely fit. There is no problem of fitness,” he was quoted as saying by journalist Arfa Feroz Zake on X, formerly known as Twitter.
In the second Test against Bangladesh, Abrar only managed to take one wicket.
The men in green ended up losing the series 2-0 and will now take on England in a three-match Test series from October 7 to 28.
Pakistan Squad for Bangladesh Test Series: Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel (vice-captain), Aamer Jamal, Abdullah Shafique, Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Khurram Shahzad, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Ali, Muhammad Hurraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Sarfaraz Ahmed (wicketkeeper), Shaheen Shah Afridi
