While Pakistani fans are worried about the dropping of famous fast bowler Muhammad Abbas from the final XI of the first Test match against Australia, the players of the host Australian team could not remain without expressing their surprise at this decision.
Pakistan did not include Mohammad Abbas in the final XI of the first Test match of the series against Australia being played in Brisbane and preferred Imran Khan senior over him.

The decision had come as a surprise to all quarters as Abbas has been a central member of Pakistan’s bowling unit for the past two-and-a-half years and played a vital role in Pakistan’s many victories.
Mohammad Abbas’s ouster from the team was no less than a blow for Australia’s current and former players as he rocked the Australian batting line-up on the dead wickets of the UAE.
Australian off-spinner Nathan Lyne, commenting on Akhrab from Abbas’s team, said, “I was quite surprised by the decision. He had bowled world class against us in the UAE, but his exclusion from the team is a reflection of Pakistan’s high standard of bowling.” There is evidence.
Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting also looked surprised at this decision and said that he was surprised that Abbas was not fed but after talking to Ramiz Raja, he was not in the best form, his pace also decreased. And he is not able to bowl fast but I think these conditions would have been perfect for him even the conditions of the next test match in Adelaide are quite favorable for his bowling.
Former Australian opener Mark Waugh said that he was shocked to drop Mohammad Abbas from Pakistan’s final XI. Could not help but express surprise.
Mohammad Abbas has taken 66 wickets in 14 Test matches at an average of 18.86 in his career and was sorely missed by the Pakistan bowlers in the second day’s game against Australia.
