Abid made a remarkable start to his Test career and has scored 1180 runs in 16 Tests for Pakistan so far. He has scored four hundreds in his short career. In Pakistan's recent Test series against Bangladesh, Abid was Pakistan's highest run-scorer and scored 263 runs in 2 games at an average of 87.67, including a staggering century in the first Test.

Meanwhile, Pakistan doesn't have any international cricket lined up for next three months and the team will be hoping that Abid recovers completely before their next assignment, which is against Australia in March. The teams will cross swords in three Tests, as many ODIs and one T20I.
