Pakistan vs Australia Test Series Schedule, Venue, Squad and Match Status

Pakistan takes a new turn as they set off on a demanding tour of Australia, which began on December 14, 2023, in Perth with a three match Test series. The visitors, led by batsman Shan Masood, are looking for redemption following a weak showing in the recently ended ODI World Cup in India, where they came in sixth. Pakistan wants to leave a lasting impression on the fearsome Australian team, therefore they have reorganized their squad and hired new coaches.

The Pakistani team witnessed substantial changes following the ODI World Cup. Shan Masood took over as team captain after skipper Babar Azam gave up his position in all three forms. The coaching staff was completely reorganized, creating the conditions for a new beginning. The 1992 World Cup winners are now keen to move on from their history and concentrate on winning the Test series against Australia.

Pakistan played a four day practice match against the Prime Minister's XI ahead of the difficult series. Before taking against the powerful hosts in the Test arena, this gave the squad time to adjust to the Australian conditions and refine their tactics.
