Pakistan is finalizing its preparations for the upcoming three-match Test series against Australia, and there is a strong determination among the management and players to put up a formidable fight and make a mark in the series. Since the appointment of the new captain, Shan Masood, there has been a sense of excitement surrounding the Pakistan Test team. The team's performance in the practice game against Prime Minister's XI has shown promise, indicating that the visitors will pose a significant challenge to the Australian team. Despite the premature end of their preparation game due to a weather event, the form of key players like Shan Masood and Babar Azam has been impressive, reflecting the team's readiness for the upcoming series.
Travis Head has been promoted to the rank of vice-captain as he gave back-to-back match-winning deliveries in the semi-final and finals of ICC World Cup 2023. He also became the player of the match in both matches.
Nathan Lyon has also entered in the squad who was away since June due to his calf injury when he was playing against England in the Lords.
