Number one ranked Test batsman Marnus Labuschagne has expressed his excitement to face a new batting task when Australia tour Pakistan on March 4.

Pakistan are set to host a three-match Test series along with three ODIs and a one-off T20I as Australia will be touring Pakistan after 24 years.

Australia's main man Labuschagne said that he is "really looking forward" to playing in Pakistan's conditions.
