Pakistan and Australia will play their first Test series on Pakistani soil in over 24 years in a few days, with the Australians fresh off a successful Ashes campaign.
In his debut series in command, Australia skipper Patrick Cummins oversaw a 4-1 Ashes thrashing of England, and the speedster is certain his side can repeat the feat against Babar Azam’s side.
Babar Azam, Pakistan’s captain, led the Green Shirts to a 2-0 Test series victory against Bangladesh and is looking forward to beating Australia at home.
The last time the two sides played in a Test series was in Brisbane and Adelaide in 2019, with Australia winning 2-0. The Australians were defeated 1-0 in a two-match series at the United Arab Emirates in 2018.
