Left-arm wrist spinner Sufyan Moqim expressed pride in once again representing Pakistan ahead of the ODI series against Australia, saying wearing the national jersey is a symbol of commitment and responsibility.
The ODI series will begin on 30 May with the opening match scheduled at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The remaining two matches are slated to be played at the Gaddafi Stadium on 2 and 4 June.
Sufyan took to Instagram and expressed pride in again wearing the Pakistan kit ahead of the upcoming series.
“This is not just a uniform or a dress, but a recognition of my commitment and duty,” he wrote in his story caption.
For those unaware, Sufyan has been in and out of the team since making his ODI debut in December 2024 against South Africa.
He remained impressive on his maiden outing, returning with impressive figures of 4/52 in eight overs. However, he fell out of contention.
Overall, he has played four ODIs and picked up eight wickets at an average of 22.75. The 24-year-old also finished the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11 as top-wicket taker, collecting 22 wickets in 11 matches.
The ODI series will mark Australia’s first bilateral assignment in Pakistan since March-April 2022. The series follows Pakistan’s successful tour of Australia earlier this year, where Pakistan completed a 3-0 clean sweep over the visitors.

Shaheen Shah Afridi (c), Salman Ali Agha (vice-captain), Abdul Samad, Abrar Ahmed, Ahmed Daniyal, Arafat Minhas, Babar Azam, Haris Rauf, Maaz Sadaqat, Muhammad Ghazi Ghori (wk), Naseem Shah, Rohail Nazir (wk), Sahibzada Farhan, Shadab Khan, Shamyl Hussain and Sufyan Moqim.
