History may be against them - Pakistan has lost all of its last 12 Tests in Australia - but head coach and selector Misbah Ul Haq is optimistic of "good results" from his "ambitious" wards as they take on the mighty hosts in their own den again in a two-match series beginning November 21. 

"For Asian teams in Australia, it's always difficult but overall the best thing for us is that our batting line-up is experienced," he was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo after two days for his team in the ongoing three-day practise match against Australia A in Perth.

"Our boys who have toured previously scored runs here. Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq and Shan Masood had a good time in the bouncy tracks in South Africa (tour in 2018-19) so looking forward, we have a good mature team."

"We have got good, young fast bowlers and Yasir Shah was there with us the last time we toured Australia," he said. "When you have such an ambitious team, you expect good results. The fast bowlers are energetic and all the players are expected to play well in the conditions."

Misbah is one of the Pakistani captains to have experienced a Test series whitewash down under on that disastrous 2016-17 tour. This time, he has gone back there as a guardian of a very young side at his disposal. 

"Our young fast bowlers and spinner Yasir Shah (leg-spinner) are our biggest positives. He (Yasir) is aware of Australian conditions and he also had better preparation playing domestic cricket at home."

"He bowled lengthy spells there and he exactly knows what was missing during his previous tour. So, I am hoping that our preparation is better than before," he added. 

The first Test will be played at the Gabba in Brisbane.
