LAHORE: Australian cricket team’s tour of Pakistan got a big thumbs-up from compatriots Ben Dunk and James Faulkner, who said the tourists will enjoy the atmosphere, the fanatic fans and a quality opposition during their tour for three Tests, three ODIs and a one-off T20 International from March 4 to April 5.
“I’ve been fortunate enough to speak to a few of the guys who are planning on coming over here. It’s certainly different to what we are used to at home. But, it’s important that cricket does come back to Pakistan and you get to play at home like you play away.
“So, for the boys that are coming out, I think they can expect to a population that loves cricket and good performances, whether they’re from the home team or the away team. It would just be an amazing thing for world cricket,” Dunk, who played five T20 Internationals for Australia and a Lahore Qalandars regular, told PCB digital on Sunday.
Faulkner backed Dunk’s view.
“I’m excited to watch Australia play Pakistan. There are going to be challenging wickets in the Tests to feature two very good teams. I am sure the Australian players are going to be tested and will enjoy playing against some quality players,” Faulkner said.
