Pakistan’s ‘unpredictable’ play style worries Australia’s Glenn Maxwell

With the upcoming ODI series between Australia and Pakistan just days away, Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell shared his thoughts on the challenges of facing the Pakistani team. 

Maxwell highlighted Pakistan's unpredictable playing style, making them tough opponents in international cricket.

In an interview, Maxwell spoke about how preparing for Pakistan can be difficult, given their ability to surprise opponents in every aspect of the game. 

“They are very hard to prepare for and I suppose get ready for because you’re just not sure what could happen and they are so dangerous in all areas of the game. They’ve got good spinners they’ve got good quicks up front and they’ve got batters that can win games for them” Maxwell said.

“I think you are gonna see those ebbs and flows when you play against them in this white-ball series and it’s gonna be so entertaining because they play an amazing brand of cricket where literally anything could happen. It’s gonna be hard for us to stay in our own bubble and concentrate on our own things because they can be super destructive to whatever plans you’ve got,” he added.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s squad has begun assembling in Melbourne. Led by captain Mohammad Rizwan, the latest arrivals include vice-captain Salman Ali Agha, Abdullah Shafiq, Aamer Jamal, Saim Ayub, Kamran Ghulam, Haseebullah, and Arafat Minhas, who joined the team on Wednesday. They follow an earlier group of key players, including Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah, who arrived on Tuesday.
