It’s too soon to write me off as a bowler : Mohammad Abbas
After a meteoric rise in International cricket which has seen Mohammad Abbas take 84 Test wickets, including four 5fers and best figures of 5/33 against Australia in 2018, the pace bowler finds himself dropped for Pakistan s tour of Zimbabwe. However, he has kept himself in contention for a national comeback by putting in solid performances for Hampshire in the 2021 edition of the County Championship.
In an exclusive interview with PakPassion.net, Abbas spoke about the importance of playing in the County season for his chances of making an international comeback, the reasons behind his lacklustre performance in Tests during series against England and New Zealand, steps being taken by the PCB to reduce injuries amongst bowlers, Pakistan’s current pace-bowling resources and what fans can expect of him when he eventually makes a return to the Pakistan side.
