Shan Masood-led Pakistan are currently touring Australia for a three-match Test series. The visitors are playing a warmup game against Australia Prime Minister's XI in Canberra.

On Day 2 (December 7), the tourists were seen planning a visit to Canberra (specific location is unknown). Pakistan’s newly appointed captain Masood, and former captains Sarfaraz Ahmed and Babar Azam engaged in a short conversation regarding the same.

Reacting to the on-field development, Babar laughed heartily.

Take a look at the conversation below:

Shan Masood:

“Ham time se ready ho jay gay (We’ll get ready on time).”

Sarfaraz Ahmed:

“Ap time py aa jana, ap log 3 log log hongy na (Please come on time, you’ll be three guys, right?”

Shan Masood:

“Kon (Who?)”

Babar Azam:

(chuckles) “Aa teeeja kera aa gya (Where did the third one came from?)”

For the unversed, Canberra is the capital city of Australia and home to places like the Parliament Huse, Australian War Memorial, National Gallery of Australia, and National Library of Australia.


In separate videos, Sarfaraz and Babar were seen labeling Saud Shakeel as ‘Chota Don’. Watch the clips below:
