Recalling a previous meeting between Shaheen Afridi and David Warner, the former captain praised the Pakistani fast bowler. Commenting on Australian conditions and Pakistan’s challenge, the Test player shared insights into the unique challenges posed by Australian conditions, especially as someone who has toured Australia twice as a player.

Recognizing the difficulty of playing in Australia, he emphasized the invaluable learning opportunities for Pakistani players. The ex-skipper also warned that on-field banter and lively exchanges are common in Australia, advising the Pakistani squad to mentally prepare for the tough competition ahead.

Sarfaraz thanks overseas Pakistani fans for their unwavering support and believes their presence in Australia will be a source of strength for the team. He urged fans to come out in force, anticipating a strong showing from the Pakistani diaspora.

“The battle between Afridi’s pace and Warner’s aggressive batting promises to be a highlight of the series, with fans already buzzing about the potential fireworks on the field,” he was quoted as saying.
