Australia are embarking on their first-ever tour to Pakistan in 24 years for the all-formats series.

The historic Test series, termed as Benaud-Qadir Trophy, recently concluded with Australia taking the honours 1-0. The three-match ODI series starts from March 29 while the one-off T20I is scheduled for April 5.

The tour allowed Australian journalists and writers to cover this historic. At least ten journalists from Australia were covering Tests in Rawalpindi, Karachi and Lahore. Only one woman journalist, Melinda Farrell, was present across the three venues.

While talking to this correspondent, she described her trip to the country as memorable and looked forward to enjoying more until the series's conclusion.

"I am really lucky to experience different things," she said. "The whole tour has been absolutely wonderful, more than we could have expected. We knew it was a big tour, very important to cricket but also for the people here."

"We felt very safe and the welcome has been very unbelievable, nothing like this i have experienced in my life, a fantastic experience," she added.

Melinda revealed that all the cities she visited had his own touch and would like to travel to Northern areas on her next trip.

"We are lucky to experience three different cities, all have their own special character. It was great to see the buildings and grandeur of Islamabad, Karachi was a very vibrant city with lots of happenings and actions."

"It's been wonderful to be in Lahore. it's been so green, with beautiful lights. We were able to see the forte and mosque, we enjoyed our time here," she added.

"It is a wonderful country to visit, culturally it is too much here, the food, the people, I would like to travel a bit more to North, to Hunza Valley and other areas but the only problem with this tour is that the matches have been so close so it is hard to do travelling to these areas."

Meanwhile, Melinda concluded by saying the few Urdu words she learned. "I tried to learn courtesy words, I can say 'Aap Kesay ho', Theek Hai, Shukriya and know how to reply to 'Assalam-u-alaikum' which is 'Wa-Alaikum as Salam'," she added.
