First Test match between Pakistan and Australia will kick-start from 4th March in Rawalpindi.
The Australian team is all set to face Pakistan in the three-match Test series, which will kick-start on 4th March in Rawalpindi. The second and the third match will be played on 12th and 21st March in Karachi and Lahore respectively.
With only a few days remaining for the start of the first Test, Australia have begun their preparations. The visitors are putting in hard yards in the net sessions for their first tour to Pakistan since 1988.
During the net session on Wednesday (2nd March), Australian skipper Pat Cummins tried to bowl a short ball to his deputy Steve Smith. The ball slipped out of the pacer’s hand and took a giant leap before landing in front of the batter, who smashed it over long-off for a six.

After the conclusion of the Test series, both nations will face off in three ODIs and one-off T20I. While the 50-over games will be played from 29th March to 2nd April, T20I is scheduled to take place on 5th April.
Test series against Pakistan will also be Pat Cummins’ first away assignment. He was recently appointed as the skipper of the Test team. Under his leadership Australia thrashed England 4-0 in Ashes 2021-22.
