The Pakistan cricket team is set to travel to Australia next month for a white-ball series, and fast bowlers Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf have already started their preparations.

Both pacers are currently undergoing intense practice sessions in Islamabad, where they have been seen bowling in the nets. Before starting their bowling drills, Shaheen and Haris also engaged in rigorous running exercises, focusing on their fitness.

The squad for the Australia tour is expected to be announced in the coming days, and there is a strong possibility that both fast bowlers will be part of the final lineup.

Meanwhile, discussions are ongoing regarding appointing wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan as the captain for the white-ball series. However, the final decision will be made after consultation between the chairman and selectors.

The upcoming series is highly anticipated as Pakistan looks to build on their recent performances and make an impact on Australian soil.
