Canberra
\nAs the much-anticipated Test series between Pakistan and Australia inches closer, pacer Shaheen Afridi said that the team does not hope for a good ending to Australian opener David Warner\u2019s last Test series.
\nExpressing his thoughts and confidence in a media talk before their first practice session in Canberra on Sunday, Shaheen said Warner has had a \u201cgreat career\u201d and has consistently delivered stellar performances across all three formats.
\n\u201cWe would wish him good luck but we are not hoping for a good end for David Warner in his last Test series against us,\u201d said the pacer.
\nThe left-arm fast bowler emphasised the significance of the series for Pakistan, highlighting their current top spot in the World Test Championship\u2019s points table.
\n\u201cThis is an important series for Pakistan as we are leading the World Test Championship\u2019s point table at the moment,\u201d stated the 23-year-old pacer.
\nHaving faced the majority of the recently announced Australian squad, Shaheen expressed the team\u2019s preparedness for the challenge that lies ahead. \u201cWe have played against the recently announced Australia\u2019s 14-member squad, and we are all up for this challenge,\u201d he affirmed.
\n\u201cWe don\u2019t have much experience of Canberra, but I am sure this four-day match against PM XI will help us prepare well for the series against the home team starting from Perth,\u201d he explained.
\nMeanwhile, Shaheen also spoke about the recent viral video of players loading their luggage onto a container truck outside the Sydney airport, saying that they helped each other out to save time.
\n\u201cWe only had 30 minutes to catch our next flight and we helped because there were just two people. We wanted to wrap it up fast and to save time,\u201d said the fast bowler in a media talk before their first practice session in Canberra on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
