Australia wicketkeeper agrees Pakistan pitch will favour spinners

Melbourne Australia February 20 ANI Australia wicket-keeper Alex Carey agreed that the pitch will favour spinners in the upcoming tour of Pakistan but pointed out that the visitors should be ready to face pace and bounce too.

Australia will tour Pakistan for three Tests, three ODIs and one T 20 I. The first test will be played in Rawalpindi on March 4.

Preparing for the most difficult scenario would mean preparing for spin-friendly conditions, according to cricket.com. Carey was quoted as saying.

If you prepare for that, but then come up against something different - if they are a bit harder and bouncy - then we've all had more of those conditions here in Australia than the spinner-friendly ones, he said.

The visitors have got the time to assess the conditions and prepare for the Pakistan series, and the Australian wicketkeeper feels that the visitors have got the time to prepare.

We'll probably get a taste of all of them at some point, and I have no expectations, said Carey.

It's more about the excitement to get over there and have a week or so lead-in to that first Test - catch balls, hit balls, face spinners, face quicks, face the reversing ball. He said that we have a bit of time to prepare and assess.
