Australian cricket team's historical series of Pakistan will start on March 4 includes three Tests, three ODIs and a one-off T20I. The schedule was revised to ease the logistical and operational challenges as well as to avoid ‘Pakistan Day’ rehearsals, which usually commence in Islamabad in the second week of March.
