Australian star batter Marnus Labuschagne, during the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) 39th podcast, said that the series against Pakistan was an ‘eye-opening’ experience.

He further added that the performance of the Green Shirts exceeded his expectations.

“It’s been really an eye-opening experience as well, to what Pakistan’s like, obviously when you haven’t been to a country, there’s a lot of speculation. You obviously paint a picture in your mind but, the country itself has far exceeded my expectations in terms of the picture and what the people are about,” Marnus said.

The top-ranked test batter added that he enjoyed his time in Pakistan on the field and off the field. He also said that the series was a mixture of both toughness and friendliness.

“Cricket on the field has been really hard and competitive. But there’s been such great times and I’ve had a really good time with Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Rizwan, even Abdullah Shafique and Imam-Ul-Haq when they’re batting.

“It’s been really exciting and enjoyable that you can play a series where it’s competitive, but also friendly. Off the field, you can have a laugh about things that have happened and stuff like that,” the 27-year-old added.

The visiting side won the test series 1-0 but lost the three-match ODI series 2-1.

However, they managed to win the one-off t20I played at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.
