The two powers of cricket world are going to face each other in a test match after a long time as Australia refused to tour Pakistan repeatedly due to security concerns. Tomorrow’s Boxing Day test match is very important for both sides and players would be looking to perform at their best because traditionally Boxing Day test matches get special attention in the media. So, players also try to give their best in these matches. Here, I am giving some information about time and venue of the first match:
