Cricket News : Australia arrive in Islamabad for first time in 24 years to play Pakistan

Australia arrived in Islamabad, Pakistan for the first time in 24 years to play in a three Test series and three ODIs and one T20 game.

Australia's previous full tour to Pakistan was under the captaincy of Mark Taylor in 1998.

Pat Cummins leads the Australian Test team, who will play their three Test matches in Rawalpindi, Karachi and Lahore. All the shorter format matches will be played in Rawalpindi.

Australia's tour to Pakistan comes months after England pulled out of a tour last year. Pakistan had also hosted South Africa last year.
