The skipper of Pakistan cricket team Shan Masood, along with star batter Babar Azam and other members of the support staff, visited the Australian cricketers at their indoor practice session with Christmas gifts on Monday. The Pakistan cricketers had gifts for the cricketers and lollipops for the children present at the Melbourne Cricket Ground facility. The Australian cricketers were extremely happy with the heartwarming gesture, and skipper Pat Cummins could not stop praising the effort. A cute moment was when Usman Khawaja’s baby daughter hugged Babar, and the video of the moment has gone viral on social media.
Australia named an unchanged XI for the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground as they look to seal the series against Pakistan, who dropped veteran wicketkeeper-batter Sarfaraz Ahmed.
The hosts crushed Shan Masood’s side by 360 runs inside four days at the first Test in Perth, with pace spearheads Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood all coming through unscathed.
It means Scott Boland, who took 6-7 on debut at the MCG against England in 2021, misses out.
On a wet Christmas Day, skipper Cummins said, “We’re a huge fan of Scotty; I don’t think that’s a secret. He’s ready to go if anything happens, so I’m sure he’ll play a part at some point.”
