Pakistan paceman Shaheen Shah Afridi has expressed his determination to the historic Australia series and is looking forward to the series.

“When Australia last toured Pakistan I was not even born. This series is of a huge significance and I want to give a good performance and my aim is to build further on my 2021 performances across the three formats,”

“A series against Australia is always a big one and performing against them gives you recognition as they have always been one of the top sides. I always looked forward to playing against them in the UAE or in Australia and now playing them at home will be a massive occasion indeed and I am determined to give my best,” said Shaheen.

Shaheen, who took 78 wickets in 36 international matches last year at 22.20 is keen on continuing his rich vein of form, especially in the three-match ICC World Test Championship series that begins with the first Test in Rawalpindi from March 4.

“Last year our bowling attack was the best in the world and our aim is to maintain the momentum. Hasan [Ali] and I always look to attack and take wickets. I am sure we will get great support from the crowd during the series as fans would be excited to see the Australian side play on our grounds,” he added.
