"I had a bit of a conversation with Mohammad Wasim and Ramiz Raja even called me, but I feel that there is a lot of communication problem. Communication problems in the Pakistan team should not have happened. ," he said.

The 33-year-old has emphasized the importance of open and honest discussions between the management and players to improve communication within the team. He believes that effective communication is necessary for the betterment of the team.

"Effective communication is the key to solving any problem, and this applies to the Pakistan cricket team as well. The management and players must have open and honest discussions to find a solution and improve the two-way communication process for the betterment of the team," he concluded. 

Abbas, who has played 25 Test matches for Pakistan, has taken 90 wickets. His exclusion has raised questions about the selection process. However, the medium-fast bowler remains optimistic about his future in the national side and hopes to make a comeback soon.

Previously, while talking to BBC Radio, Mohammad Abbas expressed his sadness over not being picked up for Pakistan’s home Test series against England last year; however, the right-arm pacer was grinning with hope and said that his time should arrive sooner or later.

"I was a little bit sad when England went to Pakistan. I took 50 wickets in here; I took 20 wickets in four-five games in Pakistan, I took two fifers in Pakistan, and even after that, they [PCB] didn't pick me," Abbas said.

"I was a little sad, but this is part of life and cricket. These things are not in your hand. What you can do is work even harder, and if you perform well, then your time shall come. I will try my best, and I hope my time will also come," he concluded.
