The heart-warming video of the Pakistan players giving gifts to Australian players and their families was shared on social media. Australia skipper Pat Cummins was seen holding on to one of the gifts as he interacted with the Men in Green.

“That was just great. Just Merry Christmas gifts and lollipops for the kids. So that was great. We’ve got a good relationship with the Pakistan side. That tour a couple of years ago was really special as well. So really kind and thoughtful of their group to think of us”, skipper Pat Cummins said.
