Pakistan’s warm-up match against the Prime Minister’s XI in Canberra is part of their preparation for their important away tour against Australia. Wasim Akram, the former captain of Pakistan, gave some priceless advice ahead of the crucial series, advising the players and the board to be brave and patient. Akram pushed for the board to keep decisions in place for a minimum of a year before evaluating their effects and stressed the necessity of bravery in the field.
With the three-match Test series, Pakistan will start a new chapter following the ODI World Cup shuffles. Following the ICC World Cup 2023 fiasco, Babar Azam resigned as captain, and the Pakistan Cricket Board’s Selection Committee was also reorganized, resulting in major changes to the team.
“We wish the Pakistani team the best of luck as they make it to Australia.” Warmest regards, particularly for the recent hires of Wahab Riaz, the Chief Selector, and Kamran Akmal, the Chief Selector’s consultant member. Allow them some time. “They are current cricket players; this is their moment.
Let’s give them a year,” Wasim Akram stated in a video that was uploaded to “X.”
“One last piece of advice: don’t hold press conferences every three minutes and abide by your choices. You should be aware of the repercussions if you have made a decision. Should you be unsure, the team will also be uncertain. Be brave and steadfast in your judgments,” he continued.

Pakistani players arrived at the airport and were left stranded.
A strange incident occurred when Pakistani cricket players were seen packing their things, including their kit bags, onto a truck when they arrived in Australia. This deviation from the norm piqued interest and led to conjecture regarding the circumstances causing this peculiar sight. Senior player Mohammad Rizwan, in particular, set a notable example by helping his colleagues pack their gear and even stopping to snap photographs for the fans.
The Test series, in the meantime, is scheduled to start on December 14 in Perth, with matches in Melbourne from December 26–30 and Sydney from January 3–7. Although Pakistan has never won a Test series in Australia, their new captain, Shan Masood, sees this visit as an opportunity to change history and shape their cricketing history in Australia.
