Pakistan Test captain, Shan Masood expressed his determination to play an exciting brand of cricket that will captivate fans from both Pakistan and Australia.
Masood emphasized the need to accelerate the pace of scoring runs, highlighting the importance of a proactive approach in the upcoming Test series.
The left-handed batter believes that if the bowlers can secure twenty wickets, it will significantly ease the execution of strategic plans.
Pakistan boasts a strong bowling lineup with several options, including Wasim Jr, who has been specifically brought in for his expertise in handling the reverse swing, particularly effective in Sydney.
Domestic performers Khurram Shahzad and Mir Hamza are expected to play crucial roles in the series, providing additional depth to Pakistan's bowling.
Shan Masood also said that the opening pair will feature Abdullah Shafiq and Imam ul Haq, while Babar Azam is set to bat at number four.
Sarfraz Ahmed has been preferred over Mohammad Rizwan, indicating a strategic decision in team selection.
Masood believes that Sarfraz's experience and skills will contribute positively to the team's performance.
Discussing the challenges posed by the Australian team, Masood acknowledged David Warner as the best ambassador of the cricket world.
He anticipates an emotional series for Warner and aims to present different challenges for the batsman in the final matches.
