Pakistan are set to host Australia for the three Tests, three ODIs, and one T20 international. The first Test is slated to be played from 4th to 8th March 2022. Australia are coming into the series on the back of a 4-0 Ashes win. They haven’t made a lot of changes to their squad. Australia, however, have come with three spinners, keeping in mind the sub-continent pitches in mind. Mitchell Swepson and Ashton Agar have been added to the team, joining Nathan Lyon. Each of them has a unique set of abilities. The opening game in Rawalpindi, though, benefits quick bowlers more than spinners. As a result, it’s possible that only Nathan Lyon will make the starting XI. Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc are all expected to make an immediate impact in the fast bowling department. Scott Boland is also in the team, and given how well he fared in the Ashes without Hazlewood, Australia can only keep him in the squad at the expense of one of Starc or Hazlewood. In all likelihood, David Warner and Usman Khawaja will begin the batting, followed by the likes of Steve Smith and others.
