Australian cricketer, Usman Khawaja believes it is time for his country’s cricket team to visit Pakistan for a full tour.

While speaking to CricWick, Khawaja said that it is the responsibility of Australia to fulfil their Future Tours Programme (FTP) commitment as Pakistan is now safe in terms of security.

“I think Pakistan in the last four or five years has showed enough that security here is extremely good, players are extremely comfortable coming here for the PSL, and so I think it’s an opportunity for Australia. I’ve heard England are also touring Pakistan this year. It will be good for cricket. Pakistan has played lot of cricket in Dubai, now they need to play at home,” he added.

Australia are scheduled to tour Pakistan in February of 2022 for two Tests, three ODIs and three T20Is.
