Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Abbas has once again shown why Lord’s has become one of the most special grounds of his career.
During the second Test against England in August 2026, Abbas took nine wickets in the match, including five wickets in England’s second innings. He finished the match with 9 wickets for 130 runs.
With this performance, Abbas has now taken 17 wickets in four innings at Lord’s, with an average of 11.41 runs per wicket. He first played at the famous ground in 2018, when he took four wickets in each innings. In 2026, he again took four wickets in the first innings before adding five more in the second.
Abbas’ journey to international cricket is also inspiring. Before becoming a Pakistan cricketer, he worked as a welder at a leather factory and later as a helper at a law firm in Sialkot. He worked his way through domestic cricket and earned his place in the national team through his consistent bowling and hard work.
