Sarfaraz Ahmed, a skilled wicketkeeper-battler from Pakistan, outlined the team’s strategy for spoiling Australia’s premier batsman David Warner’s final Test series.
In advance of the December 9 series, the Men in Green are presently in Canberra for a four-day match against the Australian PM XI.
Following this match, Warner has been named in the Pakistani squad for the first Test against Australia, which is scheduled for December 14 in Perth. In an interview with Geo News prior to the match, Sarfaraz declared the team’s goal to ruin Warner’s special day, saying, “We will try to get him out as soon as we can; we will try not to let him get off to a good start.”
“At home, Australia is always difficult. I’ll make an effort to be difficult with them. Sarfaraz continued, “Our team is excellent and will play good cricket.
He concluded by praising Pakistan’s star-studded bowling lineup for the series, despite the absence of Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah, two excellent pacers.
“Shaheen and Hasan are exceptional, and we have the likes of Mir Hamza, Khurram Shehzad, and Faheem [Ashraf], who have proven their mettle in domestic competitions,” Sarfaraz concluded.
First Test team for Australia: Travis Head, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitch Marsh, Lance Morris, Steve Smith, Mitch Starc, David Warner, Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins (captain).
