Pakistan Likely to Be Without Two Key Players Against Australia
Pakistan will be heading to the ODI series against Australia without two key players. These players include the veteran Fakhar Zaman and the all-rounder Saim Ayub. Both of them continue their rehabilitation from the respective injuries.
Pakistan has suffered a terrible loss against Bangladesh in the Test series. But now their focus has shifted to the ODI series against Australia, which will be played at their home ground. Taking the home-ground advantage, Pakistan will be aiming to secure a win over Australia in this series.
But right before the series begins on 30 May, the team has suffered a major setback. They will be going to the series without two of their key players, which includes Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub. Zaman has been a veteran opening batsman, who has contributed much to the success of the team.
On the other hand, Saim Ayub has done consistently well as an all-rounder. But in the series against Australia, the team will be missing out on his presence too. Both of them will be going through their rehabilitation from the respective injuries, as the team and fans wish them a speedy recovery.
Our Take
The ODI series between Pakistan and Australia will be a bit challenging for both teams now. Pakistan will be missing out on its key players to their injury issues. On the other hand, Australia is having some of its key players miss the series due to their IPL commitments. While the other players have been rested to ensure that they are available for the further games in the coming months.
