Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Rehman came into the ascendancy in 1999 when he grabbed a five wicket haul and a six wicket haul in successive matches against the South Africa U-19 team playing for Pakistan U-19. With Saqlain Mushtaq, Danish Kaneria, Shahid Afridi, Arshad Khan and Shoaib Malik in the team, Abdur Rehman could not break into the playing XI.
It was an impressive debut when he finally arrived on the scene though. Rehman kept a tight leash on the Windies batsmen and ended his quota of overs with impressive figures of 2/20. These are also his best ever one day figures till date. Rehman played in 5 World Cup matches in the 2011 edition and it was a surprise that he did not feature in the knock-out matches.
Rehman announced himself on the world stage on his Test debut with identical figures of 4/105 in both the innings against South Africa in October 2007. He was dropped after the 2 match series though and had to wait for 3 years for his next Test appearance. He has been impressive ever since then though and has a rich haul of 95 Test wickets in just 20 matches.
In 2012, along with Saeed Ajmal, Abdur Rehman terrorized the strong England batting line-up. He bagged 19 wickets from 3 matches at an average of 16.73 and thereby helped Pakistan to register their first ever series whitewash against England. In the same year he turned up for Somerset in the English county and took 9 for 65 in an innings against Worcestershire at Taunton. He was later banned from cricket for 12 weeks after testing positive for cannabis during his stint with Somerset.
Rehman is no mug with the bat either as evidenced by his knock of 60 against South Africa at Abu Dhabi in 2010 to help Pakistan avoid the follow-on. He formed a potent pair with Saeed Ajmal. Playing the role of the second fiddle, Rahman also had his share of the ruins in many contests.
However, the selectors looked beyond him towards the end of 2014 and post that he hasn't donned the Pakistani colours. The emergence of Yasir Shah and Zulfiqur Babar also did not help his case. A come back looks highly unlikely but stranded at 99 Test wickets, he would at least want one more go
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Abdur Rehman made his debut for Pakistan during the ODI home series against West Indies at the ripe old age of 26 (old considering the subcontinent's trait of ruthlessly exposing youth to the world's best). Not a huge turner of the cricket ball, his accuracy and consistency, as well as exploiting the rough marks, does it for him not only at the domestic circuit but at the elite level as well.
Rehman's rise to fame goes way back to 1999 when he grabbed a five-for and a six-wicket haul in successive matches while representing Pakistan Under-19 against South Africa in 1999. He was picked for the side even though he only had a brace of first-class outings. His performance in domestic competitions have been notable, especially during the 2006-07 season where he ended up as the highest wicket-taker in the Pentangular Cup including an 11-wicket haul for champions Habib Bank Limited in the penultimate match of the season.
In the early years, Rehman's opportunities on the international circuit were limited, partly because of the abundance of spinners in the line-up, and partly because he was believed to lack the artillery to cause major concern to batsmen in Test matches. Rehman's Test debut was an auspicious one - he took eight wickets at home against South Africa in 2007 - but played only one more Test before being dropped for three years. Upon his return in 2010, he carved a more permanent place for himself as Pakistan opted for a twin-spin attack in Tests. He showed that he deserved a place too, reaching the 50-wicket mark in only his 11th Test.
In 2012 he helped terrorise England, then the No. 1 Test team, in the UAE with 19 wickets at 16.73 as Pakistan completed their first ever series whitewash over England. Later that year he joined Somerset where he took 9 for 65 in an innings against Worcestershire at Taunton but also received a 12-week ban after failing a drugs test.
