After a noticeable improvement in his symptoms, Abrar Ahmed began bowling at 50% effort.
Despite his remarkable recovery from his diagnosis in Canberra, he still has certain symptoms.
Abrar is not yet ready and will not be available for the second Test due to the severity of the injury and the workload required from a spinner in a Test match.
On December 25, he will go through a preliminary fitness test that will establish when he is most likely to return to the field.
