Mohammad Hafeez’s Surprise at Canberra Conditions

Pakistan team director Mohammad Hafeez has criticized the pitch and conditions laid out for Pakistan’s warm-up game in Canberra. He said he was “really surprised and disappointed by the arrangements” at the WACA ground. Hafeez noted that Pakistan were excited by the challenge, but seemed irked by the tour arrangements and the slow pitch. He mentioned that the weather might have affected the conditions set for the game. Despite being disappointed by the pitch, Hafeez highlighted the new captain Shan Masood’s innings as a positive from the game and expressed his confidence in the team’s ability to win the upcoming series against Australia.
