He was also appreciative of the overwhelmingly warm welcome received by the Australian team in Pakistan.

The CEO of ICC Geoff Allordice said that a strong Pakistan is very important for international cricket. He said he understands the importance of this series for the Pakistan Cricket Board as well as Pakistani cricket fans who will get the opportunity to see the best players from both sides in action.

Pakistan Cricket Board CEO Faisal Hasnain said both the countries were making tireless efforts over the last many months to make this tour a reality. He said the Australian tour sends out a very positive and strong message to the entire world and we are confident that when the Australian team returns home, they will leave with fond memories and also hopefully become ambassadors of Pakistan.

The PCB Chief Executive said the people of Pakistan waited for twenty-four years to see a strong Australian team play in Pakistan. He urged the cricket fans to come and see the matches, fill the stadiums and enjoy what promises to be high-quality matches between the two world-class teams.
