In the 6 tests he has played he has already taken four 4-fers, two 5-fers and a 10 wicket haul with best figures of 11/234 in a match and 7/114 in an innings.

The Precision Path: Abrar Ahmed's Line and Length Mastery
We all know that Abrar has been a wicket taking machine so far, but it is also important to learn about the line and lengths he has been bowling. Through the matches we have seen so far Abrar has not been afraid to pitch the ball up to the batsmen at all. Most of his wickets have been coming from the flighted good length delivery which entices the batsmen to play. This tactic by him proves that he is not only a skillful bowler but also fearless as he looks for wickets rather than contain the batsmen by bowling attacking line and lengths.
Conclusion
In conclusion Abrar Ahmed has already had the best possible start to his career with exceptional performances for his team. The Young leggie still has a long way to go in the international scene and it will be interesting to see if Pakistan will also test him outside the sub continent as well. With great performances against big test nations like England, New Zealand and Sri Lanka we hope Pakistan can back him enough to give consistent performances in the future as well.
