Why is Pakistan not playing mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed in UAE conditions?

I mean i get mike hesson obsession with all rounder he wants faheem at 8 with his batting but he needs to understand in uae pitches spinners are your main weapon when you have abrar with sufiyan and nawaz this trio can choke any team with their bowling hopefully mike understands this against india play three spinners its game on.

True bro i don't hate faheem i like him he is a handy player but i am just saying keeping spin pitches of uae wouldn't be better if they can have abrar as well

Who would you replace him with

If i have to i would drop faheem i know its going to be hard he is good but pakistan has to somehow get abrar in the 11.

I thought the line up today wasn't too bad. We have Muqeem as the specialist spinner and while I am not a huge fan of Nawaz he is ok on paper. I'm not too sold on Abrar yet either.

Muqeem
Nawaz
Saim
Agha

It's a lot of spin options.

The thing that makes me a bit nervous looking at the side is the batting could maybe be improved by replacing Faheem with a specialist bat.

But he did well today at the end, so let's run with this and see where it takes us.

But he also went for 13+

I would pick Salman Mirza or abrar instead of Fahim.Rauf can bowl outside the powerplay aswell then.

Abrar might not find a place until we drop one of Nawaz or faheem..

He was always a better option compared to Sufyan Muqeem because he gives the ball more flight which makes him a difficult bowler to hit while Sufyan always tries to bowl quicker which makes things easier for the batters.

Both Abrar and Sufiyan should play in UAE.

Abrar, Sufiyan, Saim - these 3 can easily bowl 10-12 overs and choke opposition.

He got wickets today but tbh for some reason I don't rate him. Associate teams usually struggle against "mystery" spin but the rest of the teams can handle him without difficulty

All spinners need a bit of help from the surface and if there's some assistance on offer Ibby makes it count

Pakistan still not understanding the value of specialist spinners in these conditions over rellu katta spinners. Abrar and Sufiyan should both be playing. As should Nawaz. You can't expect guys like Ayub and Agha to trouble top teams like India. If anything, they will target them.

Pace attack is neither good enough, nor is it suitable for the conditions to play too many pacers. You really don't need more than two.

Abrar,Sufiyaan and Nawaz should play against Afganistan

Abrar needs to play against Afghanistan in the final.
