- Pakistan’s first practice session was cut short due to the hailstorm.
Following the cancellation of the Green Shirts’ training session at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on Sunday due to a hailstorm, Pakistan’s middle-order batter, Babar Azam, took some time off for fans.
Azam, 29, was seen signing autographs for the spectators on shirts, balls, and bats. He also posed for photos with some of them, despite the inclement weather.
The fans of Pakistani cricket, who are looking forward to the Men in Green’s action beginning on December 6 when they take on the Australian Prime Minister XI, were touched by the 29-year-old’s kind gesture.

It should be mentioned that the Pakistani squad, captained by Shan Masood, who was just appointed, had its first practice session in Canberra, but a hailstorm prevented them from finishing it.
The players then exercised indoors when the team management called off the training session.
The Britich news agency reports that Canberra is forecast to see light rain showers tonight and light to moderate rain starting on Thursday, December 7, continuing through Sunday, December 10.
It is possible that rain will disrupt the Green Shirts versus PM XI first-class match.
Australia, captained by World Cup winner Pat Cummins, revealed their 14-man team earlier today for the opening Test match of the three-match home series against Pakistan.
Pakistan has already revealed their 18-man team to play Cummins’ team in an attempt to win a Test match in Australia for the first time in almost thirty years.
