Aaron Finch: Pakistan has been deprived of international cricket for a long time

Australia confirmed the dates of its tour in Pakistan on Friday. The tour has three tests, three ODIs and one T20 match, and the teams are expected to announce in the coming days. It is Australia’s first tour to Pakistan since 1998, when Mark Taylor’s team won the three-test series 1-0. “As a player, I can’t wait to get to Pakistan for a whiteball match,” Aaron Finch, the Australian whiteball captain, told Sportstar in Melbourne.

“It’s a part of the world that has been deprived of (international) cricket for a long time, and the world’s cricket is in a much better place as Pakistan thrives as a cricket state,” he added.

International teams have been reluctant to travel to Pakistan on the Sri Lankan team’s bus since the 2009 terrorist attack in Lahore, although international cricket is once again finding its place in the country. But last year, England’s planned tour in Pakistan for two T20Is in mid-October was canceled after New Zealand withdrew from its last-minute tour in the country due to a security threat.

Finch emphasized Pakistan’s “rich history in the game. I think we need to do everything we can to make sure the game is as durable as it can be anywhere in the world. We’ll make the game a disservice if we don’t. team.”
