Australia’s batting all-rounder Glenn Maxwell praised Pakistan team’s unique and unpredictable style of play ahead of the One Day International (ODI) series, scheduled to take place from November.

Speaking in an interview, Maxwell shed light on the challenges that teams face while preparing for contests against the men in green.

“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.

It is worth noting here that the Rizwan-led side have reached Melbourne earlier on Wednesday.

Rizwan was accompanied by vice-captain Salman Ali Agha, Abdullah Shafiq, Aamer Jamal, Saim Ayub, Kamran Ghulam, Haseebullah, and Arafat Minhas.

Previously, prominent players including Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah alongside three other players arrived on Tuesday.

NEW DELHI: The Chess Olympiad 2024 witnessed an unexpected moment when members of the Pakistan chess team were seen posing with the Indian flag during a post-tournament photo session.
As seen in a viral video, the incident took place after the conclusion of the Olympiad in Budapest, Hungary.
And since then, the clip of a Pakistani team member holding the Indian flag quickly spread across social media, drawing reactions from both sides of the India-Pakistan border.
Watch:

The viral video has sparked conversations on how chess, a game of strategy and intellect, can be a metaphor for building peaceful relations between nations.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time the sporting spirit transcended national boundaries in recent weeks.
Earlier, during the Asian Champions Trophy in hockey, Pakistani players were seen waving Chinese flags and donning Chinese badges after their bronze medal match, showing their support for China in the final.
Nevertheless, despite their support, China faced a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of a well-oiled Indian side.
During the tournament, Pakistan’s Momin Fayzan earned the Candidate Master (CM) title with an impressive score of 6.5 out of 11 in the open section, while 11-year-old Aayat Asmi secured the Woman Candidate Master (WCM) title with 5 out of 10 points in the women’s division.
India’s men’s team, led by D Gukesh, Arjun Erigaisi, and R Praggnanandhaa, dominated the event, securing the top spot with 21 out of 22 points.
The women’s team, featuring D Harika, Tania Sachdev, and R Vaishali, also clinched gold following a win against Azerbaijan.
