Ahead of the upcoming three-match Test series between Pakistan and Australia, Brad Haddin has issued a cautionary note to the Australian team, emphasizing the 'dangerous' nature of the Pakistani side.

During an appearance on 'The Follow On,' Haddin pointed out that Pakistan excels in chaotic situations and tends to produce their best cricket performances when under pressure.

“There is a lot of chaos off the field,” Haddin told The Follow On.

“They put a selector on for 24 hours and he was taken off. They have a new coaching staff. If we sit here and you would think Pakistan has no chance with all the turmoil," Haddin said.

“But that is when they sometimes play their best. They are actually a hard team to prepare for because of the unpredictable nature of the way they play,” Haddin further added.

Looking ahead to the series in Australia, Haddin stressed the importance of Pakistan's key players stepping up to the challenge.

“They will need their best players to have big tours in Australia but they are a hard team to give you any (form line) on,” Haddin said.

“We know with this Pakistan team, the unpredictable nature of the way they play cricket, they could deliver anything. And that is the exciting part going into the first Test match," he further added.
