Abrar Ahmed Player Profile
Abrar Ahmed, born in Shinkiari, Pakistan, is a right-arm leg-spin bowler who has quickly made a name for himself in international cricket. He is known for his deceptive variations, including the googly, carrom ball, and sharp turners, which have tricked batsmen around the world. Abrar's rise to prominence has been meteoric, going from a relatively unknown domestic cricketer to a Test match sensation in a short period.
Abrar's cricketing journey began in his village, playing tape-ball cricket. He later moved to Karachi with his family, where he continued to play cricket and eventually made his way into the domestic circuit.

His breakthrough came in December 2022 when he was selected for the Pakistan Test team against England and made a dream debut, taking a remarkable 11 wickets in the match.

Abrar Ahmed T20 Stats
While Abrar Ahmed's primary focus has been on Test cricket, he has also shown glimpses of his ability in the T20 format. In his T20 career, which is still in its early stages, he has played 20 matches, taking 20 wickets at an average of 26.35 and an economy rate of 7.72. These numbers suggest that his leg-spin can be effective in the fast-paced environment of T20 cricket as well.
His ability to turn the ball sharply and deceive batsmen with his variations makes him a wicket-taking threat, and his economical bowling can put pressure on the opposition during the powerplay overs or in the death overs. Abrar's experience playing in the PSL has exposed him to high-pressure situations and quality batsmen, which will be beneficial as he continues to develop his skills in the T20 format. With further refinement and more opportunities, Abrar Ahmed has the potential to become a valuable asset for Pakistan in T20 cricket as well.

Abrar Ahmed T20 World Cup Stats
As of May 2024, Abrar Ahmed has not yet been included in a Pakistan T20 World Cup squad. This is likely because his international career has primarily focused on Test cricket, where his leg spin has proven to be highly effective. However, given his impressive bowling performances in domestic T20 tournaments and the PSL, Abrar is certainly a player to watch in the future. With his ability to take wickets and control the run rate, he could be a valuable asset for Pakistan's T20 World Cup campaign in the years to come.
