Young Pakistan batsman Fakhar Zaman has shattered a string of records in his short cricketing career in the limited-overs game and now is keen on to make the same impact in the traditional format of the game –Test cricket when they will play Australia in the UAE. 

The 28-year-old, the quickest to reach 1000 OFI runs for Pakistan is looking forward to playing in the upcoming two-match Test series against Australia, which is scheduled to be played in Pakistan’s adopted home –the UAE in October 2018.
