Pakistan’s former all-rounder Shahid Khan Afridi has said that the cricket team’s pace bowling is not competitive enough to compete against Australia at their home ground, ARY News reported.
According to the details, all-rounder while talking to the media said, “Our team has taken some very young pacers in Australia. I think these bowlers can’t get rid of Australian batsmen especially at their home conditions”.
He also said, “I will only talk about what I think and in my opinion pace works in Australia and Pakistan’s team management would have added a couple of bowlers with good pace for this tough tour”.
It is important to mention here that the men in green are in Australia where they will play three T20Is and two Test matches against the Aussies.
