Wasim Akram’s advice to Pakistan before the Australia match. “One more advice, don’t call press conferences every 3 minutes, stick to your decisions,” said Akram in a statement.
Pakistan is preparing for their crucial away visit against Australia with a warm-up match against Prime Ministers XI in Canberra. Before the crucial series, former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram provided some critical advice, encouraging both the squad and the board to show courage and patience. Akram stressed the importance of daring on the field and urged the board to delay decisions for at least a year before examining their impact.
Pakistan will begin a new chapter following the post-ODI World Cup scramble with a three-match Test series. The team has experienced substantial changes since Babar Azam stood down as captain following the ICC World Cup 2023 disaster, which coincided with changes in the Pakistan Cricket Board’s Selection Committee.
“The Pakistan team has arrived in Australia; best wishes.” Best wishes, especially to the newcomers, such as Wahab Riaz, the new Chief Selector, and Kamran Akmal, the Chief Selector’s consultant member. Let us give them some space. They are current cricketers; this is their time; let us give them a year,” Akram stated in a video released on ‘X’.
“Also, don’t call press conferences every three minutes; stick to your decisions.” If you’ve made a decision, you should be aware of the repercussions. If you are undecided, the team will be as well. “Be brave and stick to your decisions,” he urged.

Pakistan players left stranded at airport on arrival
When Pakistan players arrived in Australia, they were photographed putting their stuff, including kit bags, onto a truck. This break from the ordinary piqued people’s interest, leading to debate regarding the circumstances underlying this rare sight. Notably, veteran player Mohammad Rizwan set a good example by aiding his teammates in carrying their kit bags and even taking photographs with supporters.
Meanwhile, the Test series will begin on December 14 in Perth, followed by matches in Melbourne from December 26-30 and Sydney from January 3-7. Pakistan has never won a Test series in Australia, but new captain Shan Masood sees this next visit as an opportunity to rewrite history, altering the direction of their cricketing heritage Down Under.
