‘Pakistan sunke bhikhari samjhe kya? Sahi samjhe’ – Fans react as Pakistan Cricket team get spotted loading luggage on truck after landing on Australia
The Pakistan Cricket team is gearing up for a highly anticipated 3-match Test series against Australia, with the first match scheduled to begin on December 14 in Perth and the final Test set for January 3, 2024. As the Men in Green have landed on Australian soil, a video has gone viral on social media, showcasing players such as Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, and Test team captain Shan Masood taking charge of their own luggage and loading it onto a truck.
The video has stirred mixed reactions online, with some fans expressing frustration at the perceived lack of a welcoming committee from the Pakistan embassy or Cricket Australia, while others found humour in the situation. The unexpected sight of cricketers handling their own baggage has added a unique twist to the team’s arrival.

Pakistan made changes in their coaching staff after horrible ODI World Cup 2023 campaign
The Men in Green are gearing up for the upcoming series with a fresh face at the helm, as Shan Masood has been recently appointed as the new Test captain by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). This change in leadership occurred following Babar Azam’s resignation from the captaincy in all cricket formats.
In addition to the Test captaincy, Shaheen Afridi has been named as the captain of Pakistan’s T20I team, with expectations that he will also lead the squad in the 2024 T20 World Cup. Although the PCB has yet to announce the ODI captain, there are strong indications that Mohammad Rizwan is likely to take on the role. Pakistan has also made alterations to its coaching staff, with Umar Gul and Saeed Ajmal assuming the roles of fast and spin bowling coaches, respectively.
Pakistan squad for Australia Tests: Shan Masood (captain), Mohammad Wasim Jnr, Noman Ali, Saim Ayub, Aamir Jamal, Abdullah Shafique, Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Faheem Ashraf, Hasan Ali, Imam-ul-Haq, Khurram Shahzad, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Salman Ali Agha, Sarfaraz Ahmed (wk), Saud Shakeel and Shaheen Shah Afridi

They treated the same to a football team that visited earlier this year for the qualifier game and now got the same treatment.

When you got best treatment in India, you didn’t showed any respect or value to it. Aussies are best for this kind of treatment because you deserve it
