Speaking to media in this press conference, Faisal Hasnain said that today is an important day in the history of Pakistan cricket. I am proud that cricket stadium officials are sitting with me.
He said that Pakistani cricket fans welcome the Australian cricket team in Pakistan. Pakistani fans have been waiting for 24 years to see Australia.
The best quality and thorny cricket series is about to take place between Pakistan and Australia. A visit to Australia is important not only for cricket but also for cricket between the two boards.
It should be noted that after 24 years, the Australian cricket team is playing on Pakistani soil today, whereas before that they had visited Pakistan in 1998.
Australia will play a series of 3 Test matches in their tour of Pakistan while a series of 3 ODI matches will also be played between the two teams.
Apart from this, the Australian cricket team will also play a T20 match in this tour after which the tour of Pakistan will come to an end.
