ICC Champions Trophy: Pakistan batter Babar Azam said his team will try to utilise the upcoming ODI series against Australia as crucial preparation for the ICC Champions Trophy to be held in February next year.
"We are looking forward to the Champions Trophy because we have 10 to 15 one day matches (to come) and we are trying to do our best to utilise this series and the (other) series. We have a good bunch of players — a senior and junior combination — and we are very excited to play here,” said Azam to Fox Sports.
Pakistan will play ODIs against Australia in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth, before playing three T20Is next week. “I (have) just played a lot of cricket (here) and I love playing here, because the ball comes on very nicely. I just believe in myself and just execute my plans because here, if you are set, there are a lot of runs (to be scored) here,” added Azam.
