Karachi, 26 February 2021: Swashbuckling batsman Ben Dunk approved security arrangements for teams in Pakistan, raising hopes Australia's next year's tour to the country would be amazing for the people of Pakistan as well as for the players.
Australia are scheduled to tour Pakistan for two Tests, three ODIs and as many T20Is in what will be their first tour to Pakistan since 1998.
Asked would he give a thumbs up if Cricket Australia takes his opinion on safety and security in Pakistan, Dunk was positive, “I think 100 per cent. In my four times to Pakistan, I have never felt unsafe.
“The security around the hotel, to and fro the games is simply amazing. I think it would be awesome for the people of Pakistan to have the Australian team touring here.”
England and New Zealand are also due to visit Pakistan later this year.
Dunk is part of Lahore Qalandars for the second time after featuring for Karachi Kings in 2019.
