Arthur also said that the team was confident of getting Azhar Ali back in the team for the fourth ODI on Sunday. He said, “It’s a massive boost. It gives more solidarity to our top order. I’m looking forward to having him back.”
Asad Shafiq’s poor form has been a concern for the team and maybe dropped from the side for the next ODI. Australia leads the five-match ODI series 2-1. Pakistan has to win the fourth ODI at Sydney if they have to stay alive in the one-day series. The green-shirts had last beat Australia in 1997.
