Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed has credited the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) for his development in white-ball cricket, revealing insights about his journey and wicket-taking skills with Quetta Gladiators.
In a recent interview shared by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Abrar discussed how he has been mastering different variations in his bowling arsenal. The video accompanying the post shows the spinner talking and in action, demonstrating his bowling technique with focused concentration.
Crediting PSL For White-ball Development
Abrar, known for his mystery spin bowling, opened up about how participating in the HBL PSL has significantly contributed to his growth in limited-overs cricket. The tournament has provided him with the platform to test his skills against quality batsmen and develop his repertoire of variations.
Mastering Variations: The Key To Success
The spinner emphasized that his focus has been on perfecting different variations to keep batsmen guessing. In the competitive environment of T20 cricket, Abrar believes that unpredictability is his greatest asset.
His arsenal includes the traditional leg-break, googly, and flipper, along with variations in pace and trajectory that make him difficult to read for batsmen. This skill set has made him a valuable asset for Quetta Gladiators in the PSL.
Pakistan Cricket Future
Abrar’s development comes at a crucial time for Pakistan cricket, as the national team continues to build depth across formats. The Pakistan cricket team, one of the most successful teams in international cricket, has won the ICC Cricket World Cup once (1992), the ICC World Twenty20 once (2009), and the ICC Champions Trophy once (2017).
The PCB has been focusing on nurturing talent through domestic competitions like the PSL, which has served as a launching pad for several players who have gone on to represent Pakistan internationally.
Other talented players like Saim Ayub have also benefited from the PSL platform. Ayub recently expressed his excitement about returning to competitive cricket in the current PSL season after recovering from injury.
Looking Ahead
With the tenth edition of the HBL PSL (HBLPSLX) currently underway, Abrar Ahmed is looking to further enhance his skills and make a significant impact for Quetta Gladiators. His continued development as a spinner with multiple variations will be crucial for his franchise and for Pakistan’s national team in upcoming tournaments.
