Boucher returned to Pakistan after a very long time, he made his test debut in Sheikhupura in 1997, and went onto play 147 Tests, 295 ODIs, and 25 T20Is for South Africa till 2012, affecting 999 dismissals in international cricket.

Boucher further added to his statement,

“It is tough but different to India and Sri Lanka, where it (the ball) turns. Pakistan is more conducive to fast bowling. Reverse swing was very big, though regulations are tighter these days on how you can work on the ball. They are historically flat wickets. The areas you score as a batsman are different. If you apply yourself there are a lot of runs out there.”

Proteas team will arrive in Karachi on Saturday morning via chartered flight where they will spend their quarantine period and play the first Test from January 26.
