‘Security in Pakistan is very professional’ Australian Test captain Cummins

RAWALPINDI: Australian Test captain has termed the security of Pakistan as very professional as the right-arm pacer, along with his side, touched down in the country for the historic tour after a gap of 24 years.

Cummins, who talked to a virtual presser revealed that he feels incredibly safe in the country, also termed the security as very professional.

“I am feeling incredibly safe in Pakistan. I think the security here is very professional and the hospitality has been outstanding so far,” he said.

“Well, I also think that too much or very tight security will not divert our attention and we can keep our focus firmly on the cricket only,” he added.

Cummins further claimed to be aware that the touring team is restricted to staying at the hotel and that the squad members are used to this circumstance, claiming that they encountered similar constraints while touring India.

“We know that we can not go beyond the hotel frequently, while the boys are used to certain restrictions as we also do not use to go out a lot during our tour to India,” he said.

“The players have brought playing cards and Playstations in their luggage to have a good time during the quarantine,” he concluded.

Furthermore, Cummins also acknowledged the Pakistan Cricket Team as a tough team and said it will be a huge task to beat the men in green in their home conditions.
