Australia and Pakistan are set to resume their World Test Championship (WTC) campaign from December 14 in Perth where the first Test of the three-match series will be played. It is a massive Test series for the home side as opener David Warner is set to retire after this series while for Pakistan, it marks a start of new era with Babar Azam stepping down as captain from all formats post the World Cup debacle. Shan Masood has taken over as the Test captain and has a task on his hands down under in this series.
Pakistan have not won a single Test in Australia since 1995 and have lost their last 14 Test matches down under as well. Meanwhile, Australia are gearing up to give a winning farewell to Warner even as Nathan Lyon eyes completing 500 wickets in Test cricket.
