Chappell Hopes Australia Will Remain True To Their Commitment

Former Australian skipper Greg Chappell on the other hand hoped that Australia won’t shy away from touring Pakistan in 2022. In a column for Sydney Morning Herald the 73 year old wrote, “I do hope that Australia will not cry off from the nation’s first cricketing tour of Pakistan in over two decades. I know that a three-man delegation, including a representative of the Australian Cricketers Association, has just returned from an extensive 12-day visit to the proposed venues for the March series. Informal reports are that they were impressed at the plans and preparations of the Pakistan Cricket Board. Pakistan offers touring sides security at the level normally extended only to international heads of state.”
