RAWALPINDI: Pakistan captain Babar Azam has joined the practice session here at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium as the home series against Australia is just around the corner.

Alongside Babar, Imam-ul-Haq, Fawad Alam, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Sajid Khan, Nauman Ali, and Saud Shakeel also participated in the session, while Naseem Shah and Azhar Ali will join the practice session tomorrow.

In a three-hour practice session, the players participated in the batting, bowling, and fielding drills, and also the scenario-based training sessions.

The coaching staff, led by Saqlain Mushtaq, is creating scenarios for the camp’s participants. The players are trying to gain a feel for Test cricket, whether it’s fielding, batting, or bowling, as they haven’t played red-ball cricket since November-December last year.

It is worth mentioning here that the historic tour of Australia will commence with a three-match Test series. Rawalpindi will host the first match, while Karachi and Lahore will host the second and third matches of the series respectively.
