Abrar Ahmed is facing a major scheduling dilemma as Pakistan’s upcoming Test tour of the West Indies is set to overlap with The Hundred 2026. The clash in fixtures could force the leg spinner to choose between representing his country and fulfilling his franchise commitments.
Abrar Ahmed was signed by Kavya Maran-owned Sunrisers Leeds for 190,000 pounds ahead of The Hundred 2026. His signing attracted significant attention, with many Indian fans criticising the franchise for recruiting a Pakistani cricketer.
According to reports, Abrar could miss a significant part of The Hundred if he is selected for Pakistan’s two-Test series against the West Indies. The tournament is scheduled to begin just four days before the opening Test, creating a direct scheduling conflict.
Pakistan is expected to announce its squad for the West Indies series on Monday. Reports suggest Abrar remains a strong contender as the selectors look for a specialist leg spinner for the tour.
If he is included in the squad, Abrar Ahmed will have an important decision to make. He will need to choose between national duty with Pakistan or remaining available for Sunrisers Leeds during The Hundred.
With Pakistan’s squad announcement drawing closer, attention is firmly on Abrar Ahmed. Fans are waiting to see whether he represents Pakistan in the Test series or joins Sunrisers Leeds for The Hundred 2026.
