A high-on confidence Pakistan will take on an Australia side devoid of many stars in a three-match T20I series.

Just months before the start of next year's ICC Champions Trophy, Pakistan's pace spearhead Shaheen Afridi has reclaimed the Number 1 ranking after the ICC issued the latest Men's ODI Bowler Rankings.

Pakistan all-rounder Kamran Ghulam opened up about being denied his debut cap ahead of the 1st ODI against Australia in Melbourne earlier this week. Ghulam, who slammed a century on his Test debut last month, featured at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Monday as Pakistan lost the series opener by a narrow margin.

"Lock The Kit Bag Away...": Ricky Ponting Suggests Babar Azam To Take Virat Kohli's Way To Regain Form

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has suggested former Pakistan skipper Babar Azam to replicate Virat Kohli's approach in a bid to rejuvenate his lost form. Babar was rested for the last two Tests against England after his poor form. Pakistan won both matches and secured the series 2-1, the first under Shan Masood's rein. In 55 Tests, Babar has scored 3,997 runs at an average of 43.92. However, he had not scored a Test half-century in 18 innings stretching back to late 2022 and has seen a dip in form in a year where he was made captain and then left the post after Pakistan suffered a group-stage exit in this year's T20 World Cup in June.
