Pakistan are set to face Australia in what is expected to be a fascinating three-match ODI series, that starts from November 4. For Pakistan, it will be a defining series as it will be the first assignment of Mohammad Rizwan, the captain in white-ball formats for the Green Shirts. The experienced wicketkeeper-batter had taken over the reins of Pakistan's white-ball teams after Babar Azam had relinquished captaincy not very long ago. Mohammad Rizwan would want nothing better than a winning start to life as Pakistan national cricket team captain but the task is not going to be very easy. Pakistan have announced their playing XI and it features a returning Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi as well as Naseem Shah. Australia vs Pakistan 2024 Full Schedule, Free PDF Download Online: Get AUS vs PAK Live Streaming, TV Channel Telecast of ODI and T20I Series With Fixtures, Time Table and Match Timings in IST.
