Islamabad: Pakistan Test captain Azhar Ali wants to quickly forget the two losses to Australia and prepare for next week’s home Test series against Sri Lanka.
###
Pakistan couldn’t win a single international match in Australia, losing the T20 series 2-0 and then the Test matches, which were part of World Test Championship, in Brisbane and Adelaide by large margins inside four days.
###
“It was a disappointing series,” Azhar said Friday. “We are a pride cricketing nation and definitely our pride has been hurt with two innings defeat in Australia.”
###
Pakistan arrived from Australia early Friday and have only four more days before they take on Sri Lanka in the first Test in Rawalpindi.
###
It will be the first Test in Pakistan in more than 10 years since the Sri Lanka cricket team bus came under a terrorist attack in Lahore. Eight people were killed during the ambush and several Sri Lankan players were also injured.
