The squads and fixtures are yet to be announced but as the Cricket Conditions in South Africa suggests, Pacers will play a keen role in Teamโ€™s success. Pakistan is known for producing quality fast bowlers but in recent times the firepower of Pakistani Arsenal has failed to win matches for the Green team. As far as the batting is concerned the veterans along with the Young guns together need to make the right combination and aid the bowling department with enough runs on the Board to defend.

Pakistani coach Misbah is hopeful of turning things around for the Pakistani team despite an unsuccessful outing in England stating โ€œ”The sort of cricket we are playing right now is exactly what we are looking atโ€. His drastic changes to the squad have already cost the no1 rank in the shorter format of the game but Misbah is happy with the way the team is moving ahead. Misbah is the only captain to win an ODI series for Pakistan in South Africa and having shared cricket ground with most the guys of both teams, his experience as a player will assist him as a coach in making a Perfect game plans for his team.

South African Cricket is in Financial, Administrative, and Managerial Crisis. The allegations of Racism and government interference in cricket, firing, and resigning of top administration, CSร is facing the worst time. It wonโ€™t be a surprise if we see the suspension of the series for an indefinite period as the multiple players are engaged in IPL and Pakistanis are keen on hosting Zimbabwe in November. There was a possibility of Proteas touring Pakistan earlier in March before the Novel Virus halted sports activities around the globe. PCB is already working on creating a biosecure bubble for the resumption of cricket in Pakistan and the health situation in the country projects improvement over time. Judging from the recent development the South African team visiting Pakistan is not out of Question.
