Australian captain Aaron Finch has said that he cannot wait to go to Pakistan for the white-ball tour, which consist of three ODIs and one T20I.

The right-handed batter said that Pakistan has not been able to play cricket at home for a long time.

"As a player, I can't wait to go to Pakistan for the white-ball leg. "That's one part of the world that's been deprived of (international) cricket for a long time now, and world cricket's in a much better place when Pakistan's thriving as a cricket nation," said Finch.

Finch exalted Pakistan's rich history in the game. "I think we've to do everything to make sure the game is as sustainable as it can be all around the world. We are doing the game a disservice if we don't do that. And as far as I'm aware, we will have a full-strength pool to pick the squad from."
