No strong pacers for Australia cricket tour, Shahid Afridi

KARACHI: Pakistan’s former all-rounder Shahid Afridi said that Pakistan team’s pacers are not competitive enough to challenge Australia.

While talking to media, former cricketer added, “Our team has taken some very young pacers in Australia. I think these bowlers can’t get rid of Australian batsmen especially at their home conditions.”

Shahid Afridi further said that the management should have selected a couple of experienced pacers for the upcoming cricketing tour.
