A full-strength Australia Test squad reached Pakistan on Sunday and will have their first practice session in Rawalpindi ahead of the 1st Test starting Friday. Ashton Agar is part of both Test and white-ball squads.
This is Australia’s first tour in 24 years. Australia stopped touring Pakistan due to security threats. Recently, New Zealand abandoned the tour minutes before the 1st match after receiving death threats. England too abandoned their Pakistan tour.
