Legendary Australian batsman David Boon on Friday (October 4) advised Pakistan to not reveal many secretes during the ongoing Sri Lanka series at home and to be patient when they tour Australia later this year for a bilateral affair.

The Men in Green will travel Australia for three T20 Internationals and two-match Test series – which are part of the ICC World Test Championship in November and Boon suggested Pakistan to have the confidence to play their own game to compete with the hosts.

As per APP, Boon said: “The grounds [in Australia] are a lot bigger and the guys have to adapt to that. The pitches are obviously different. I won’t say they are the same all over Australia as they all have their own little nuances and characteristics; the biggest one the guys have to come to grip will be bounce and pace. It is obviously a lot pacier and bouncy here as compared to the subcontinent.”

The 58-year-old continued, “It is important for them to be patient. Shouldn’t give away too many secrets and have the confidence to play their own game and adapt to the conditions.”

Boon, who last visited Pakistan in 1994, also commented on the return of international cricket to the country: “It is good to be back. There have been a lot of unfortunate issues, which have been out of control of many people, here in the last ten years or so. Playing cricket back in Pakistan is only good for the game, and good for the people of Pakistan who follow cricket.”

He signed off by saying, “It is even more important for young kids to be able to see players from their and other countries play the game here [in Pakistan]. They get that vision that moving forward they want to play the game themselves.”
