“So I shared information in a good way and convinced them as well, I also spoke to CA and other officials too, and tried my best on my side to convince them, especially about security. I explained it that the security in Pakistan will make you feel as secure as anywhere in the world. Security here will be very tight.” he added.

“Yeah it’s going to be great to have ‘Fuzzy’ back around the squad. I haven’t actually seen him for a few years, so it’s going to be good to catch-up,” said Pat Cummins.
“He’s got a wealth of experience here playing in Pakistan in the PSL. He knows the venues quite well, so that’s going to be really helpful and just having another pair of hands around training is always great fun for the group to see him again,” Cummins added.
