WATCH: Shoaib Akhtar looks ecstatic as he heads to Rawalpindi stadium to watch historic first Pakistan vs Australia Test

Pakistan’s legendary fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar said that he was delighted at full-fledged international cricket returning to Pakistan while he was on his way to the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium to watch the action live from the stands on Friday, February 27. Akhtar took to social media and shared a video of himself stuck in traffic while he was on his way to the stadium. There were also tight security arrangements made as Australia's arrival marked the return of full-fledged international cricket to Pakistan.

"Going to the Pindi Stadium after a very long time. I am very happy. Last time I played here, after that I haven't been to the stadium to watch a match," Akhtar said in the video shared on social media.

Here's the video:

Pakistan, after opting to bat, reached 221/1 in 77.1 overs on Day 1 of the first Test against Australia. Imam-ul-Haq is still in the middle, on 120, along with Azhar Ali, who is batting on 52.
