Pakistan men’s cricket team is set to tour Australia for a 3-match Test series starting from 14 December 2023. This Test series will form a part of the 2023-2024 World Test Championship.
Pakistan Cricket Board has made some big changes in the management and leadership. A new director of cricket, head coach, selector and new captain have been appointed. Batsman Shan Masood will now lead the Pakistan red-ball team as Babar Azam stepped down from the position after a below average performance in the ODI World Cup.
Australia, on the other hand, will feel confident after winning the ODI World Cup trophy for the 6th time and having the Test series in their backyard. Aussies are a tough side to beat in red-ball cricket at their home grounds.
