Former Pakistan pacer Umar Gul has claimed that the Australian aggression has disappeared following the ball-tampering incident which occurred back in 2018.

In an exclusive interview, Gul said that Cricket Australia (CA) took notice of many things and one of them was perhaps their arrogance and overly aggressive nature on the field.

"As a nation, we as Pakistanis are friendly by nature. We do adopt aggression depending on the opposition. If you look at Australia's history, they used to be extremely aggressive and arrogant," he said.

"Their cricketing board enforced a change in attitude following the ball-tampering incident which took place in South Africa. I have noticed that since then, Australia's demeanor on the pitch has changed quite a lot and that isn't always a bad thing," he added.

The newly-appointed bowling coach of Afghanistan further added that things were very different when he was playing on the international stage.

"Back when I was playing, even Australian spinners used to carry out aggression with the same arrogance as the pacers did and that has changed," he added.
