In the three-match Test series, Pakistan lost to Australia handily, losing 0–3 on Australia’s home ground. Pat Cummins’ team led the Australian side. The main weakness in their performance was the poor performance of the pacers. Which included Shaheen Afridi, the new captain of the Twenty20 internationals. Who was rested for the series finale in Sydney because of workload management? The squad’s star pacer, Shaheen, has acknowledged that the performance of the pacers, including himself, was “disheartening.” Shaheen Afridi will captain the team in a five-match T20I series against New Zealand.
The pace-friendly surfaces were difficult for Pakistani bowlers, while Australian bowlers Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood had impressive performances.
As Shaheen stated on the day of the inaugural Twenty20 International, “To be honest, we were ourselves looking at the speed o’ meters and wondering, is this really us?” The fact that the speeds were not increasing despite our best efforts was beyond our comprehension. We believed that we would not exceed 130 KPH, so seeing 130–132 KPH was discouraging.
As he prepares to skipper Pakistan for the first time on a regular basis, Shaheen made some significant announcements regarding the series opener in Eden Park, Auckland.
Azam Khan, Aamer Jamal, and Sahibzada Farhan are among the youthful players returning, and Abbas Afridi and Haseebullah are among the new players. Prior to the World Cup, we hope to offer them an opportunity in these five Twenty20 Internationals and future Twenty20I games.
