(Reuters) - Australia are on a journey of discovery as they tour Pakistan for the first time in a quarter of a century and will hope to emerge with a first away test series win in six years.

Australia are in Pakistan for what will be a historic Test series - their first visit in 24 years - but there will be no room for sentiment once play begins in Rawalpindi on Friday.

Pakistan will start their first Test series at home against Australia in 24 years in Rawalpindi on Friday under heavy security with the tourists on unfamiliar turf. Here's a look at three players from each side to watch as the long-awaited and potentially fascinating three-Test battle unfolds. Started his career as a leg-spinning all-rounder against Pakistan at Lord's in 2010 before developing into one of the most complete batters in international cricket, Steve Smith's average of 59.87 is unsurpassed by any active Test player and he has proved his adaptability by scoring 1,200 runs in 13 Tests on slow, turning sub-continent wickets. Australia will look to Smith -- who by his own lofty standards had a lean series against England with 244 runs at 30.50 and a top score of 93 -- to anchor their batting against a formidable Pakistan attack on pitches alien to the tourists. Likely to be the key to winning matches on the slow and turning pitches of Pakistan.
Australia batter David Warner enjoys a large fan following in India. Warner, who keeps experimenting with his online avatar and loves swapping faces with Indian film stars, took to Instagram on Tuesday and recreated a song from Akshay Kumar's upcoming movie, titled 'Bachchan Pandey'. In the video, Warner can be seen pumping his chest, while singing the title song 'Maar Khayega', with an intense look on his face. Uploaded just over an hour ago, the video has already garnered over 166,000 likes on Instagram.
