Reply Abrar Ahmed commented one year agoHe is a "Travelling Reserve" meaning that he can only be a part of the team if another main spinner is either Injured or not feeling well. Reply Abrar Hussain commented one year agoBcz he is not for the announced team . He is travelling reserve just to travel and enjoy Reply Khalid awan commented one year agoFakhar zaman Abdullah shafique Babar AZAM Rizwan Saud Shakeel Ifthkhar Usama Mir Abrar Ahmed Shaheed Afridi Haris rauf Zaman Khan Reply Ayaz Ahmed commented one year agoWhy you not give a chance to Zaman Khan and abrar Ahmad give a chance to him and check him at least please Reply Abdul Shakur commented one year agoWhy Babar does not open, otherwise he is coming in within 4-5 overs of play.
