Pakistan arrived in Australia for their limited-overs tour on the back of a tumultuous period off-the-field, which saw the departure of Gary Kirsten as the team’s white-ball coach and the change of the team’s leadership.
The highly-rated South African coach resigned after a series of behind-the-scenes changes and a power struggle with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
Jason Gillespie, Pakistan’s Test team coach, took charge of the team for the tour of Australia and Mohammad Rizwan was appointed the country’s white-ball captain following Babar Azam’s resignation.
Despite off-field ruckus and a historically poor record in Australia, Pakistan managed to stun the world champions in the one-day international series and won it 2-1, thanks to their fast bowlers’ superb performance.
