Ben Dunk Wants Australia Cricket Team to Visit Pakistan
Lahore Qalandars’ hard-hitting batsman, Ben Dunk, has been extremely impressed with the security measures undertaken by the government for the PSL and overall security situation in Pakistan.
During an interview with a local cricket website, the 32-year-old expressed his desire to see the Australian cricket team touring Pakistan.
The security has been top-notch here and there is no reason why the Australian team should not visit Pakistan. I guess it will be up to the two boards to figure out when and where that should take place.
Dunk, who has played 5 T20Is for Australia, recalled the moments when the two teams used to take on each other in good old days.
Growing up I saw Shoaib Akhtar come up against Ricky Ponting and I would love to see similar duels here in Pakistan as well.
