Australia announce full-strength squad for historic tour of Pakistan

Australia has finally announced their full-squad for the upcoming tour of Pakistan and as promised, the majority of the superstars have been included.

Pat Cummins will be leading the Australian side in a historic three-Test tour and he will be accompanied by prominent names of Josh Hazlewood, David Warner, Mitchell Starc,  Steve Smith.

It is worth pointing out that no player pulled out of the tour, which was previously anticipated, is a huge vote of confidence for Pakistan cricket and its governing body.

The squad for the limited-overs series will be announced prior to the completion of the Test series, according to sources.

Cricket Australia (CA) had already conducted the basic security arrangements assessment and submitted positive feedback upon their return.

"Clearly there is some anxiety about touring which I think is perfectly natural given an Australian team hasn't toured Pakistan for almost 25 years," Australian Cricketers' Association chief Todd Greenberg told SEN on Monday.

The complete Test squad is as follows:

Pat Cummins (c), Ashton Agar, Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Marcus Harris, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh, Michael Neser, Steve Smith (vc), Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Swepson, David Warner
