Pakistan's series against Australia, which includes three One Day Internationals and as many Twenty20s, starts on Tuesday in the United Arab Emirates. Pakistan, who are playing their home series on neutral venues because of security fears in their country, were forced to host the series in the extreme hot conditions in the UAE after Sri Lanka backed out as alternate. -Photos and text by AFP
