Mohammad Abbas emerged as one of Pakistan’s strongest performers during the team’s three-Test tour of England, earning the Player of the Series award despite Pakistan losing the series 3–0. His consistency with both bat and ball made him a standout figure throughout a difficult campaign.
The 37-year-old fast bowler finished with 13 wickets in five innings, maintaining an average of 25.38. His most impressive performance came at Lord’s, where he claimed five wickets in England’s second innings.
Abbas also contributed with the bat, scoring 86 runs during the series.
The second Test at Lord’s produced one of Abbas’ most memorable performances of the tour. He finished the match with nine wickets, including figures of 5–57 in England’s second innings as Pakistan fought to stay competitive.
During the same Test, Abbas also reached another significant career milestone, completing 900 first-class wickets after dismissing Dan Lawrence on the opening day. The achievement added another landmark to an already long career in red-ball cricket.
England ultimately completed a 3–0 victory, but Abbas’ individual consistency earned him recognition as Pakistan’s Player of the Series. England’s Ollie Robinson, who finished with 21 wickets, was also recognised with the series honour.
For Abbas, the award reflects how strongly he performed even during a challenging campaign. His ability to create breakthroughs with the new ball and contribute useful runs made him one of Pakistan’s most dependable players throughout the tour.
His performance also provided a reminder of the value of experience in Test cricket.
