The Pakistan cricket team arrived in Brisbane on Sunday ahead of the five-match ODI series against Australia starting from January 13 (Friday).
Veteran all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez received a late call-up to Pakistan’s ODI squad on Saturday, only hours after the tourists were whitewashed 3-0 by Australia. Hafeez will join the squad as the 16th member on the request of the team’s management comprising coach Mickey Arthur and captain Azhar Ali.
