The 27-year-old spinner played for Pakistan in Asia Cup 2025 last month, where he gave a decent performance. The right-arm leg spinner clinched six wickets in seven games at an economy of 5.36 as Pakistan lost the final against India in Dubai.

Ahmed has also been named in the Pakistan squad for the upcoming two-match test series against South Africa. The series, part of ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27, will begin on October 12. Pakistan will also clash with South Africa in three T20Is and three ODIs during the home campaign.

Abrar Ahmed challenges Shikhar Dhawan for a boxing match in a viral video

In a viral video on X (formerly Twitter), Ahmed was seen challenging Dhawan for a boxing match. During an interaction with Pakistani TV host Sara Baloch, Ahmed was asked which player he would like to face in a boxing match. The video is from June 2025, but has gone viral on social media now.

“Kaunsa aisa player hai duniya ka jo aap chahate hai ki apke saamne ho aur aap boxing karey, jispe bada gussa aata ho?” (Whom do you want to face in a boxing match? Who makes you angry?),” he was asked.

“Main chahta hu ki main boxing karu aur khada Shikhar Dhawan ho saamne (I want to box and want Shikhar Dhawan in front of me),” Abrar responded.

Notably, Dhawan has been quite vocal in his support of the Indian Armed Forces and criticisms against Pakistan. During World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 tournament in August, he was one of the players who refused to play against Pakistan Champions in the tournament. The former India opener announced his retirement from international cricket in 2024.

Ahmed, who made his international debut in 2022, has played 10 tests, 11 ODIs, and 23 T20Is for Pakistan so far. With consistent performances across three formats for the last few years, he has emerged as a key player for his team.
