Injury woes mount for Pak as Abrar ruled out of 2nd Test

Pakistan's cricket team has ruled out off-spinner Abrar Ahmed of the upcoming second Test against Australia. Ahmed missed the previous Test in Perth due to leg discomfort, and despite hopes of recovery, he has not regained full fitness for the crucial Boxing Day Test at Melbourne. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) stated that due to the injury and workload required from a spinner in a Test match, Abrar is not yet ready and will not be available for the second Test.
