Pakistan cricketer Shaheen Shah Afridi has shed light on the recent airport video where players were seen loading luggage onto a truck in Sydney.
Afridi explained that the rush was due to a tight 30-minute window for their next flight, prompting the players to assist each other like a family to save time.
The viral video surprised cricket fans as the national team is currently in Australia for a three-match Test series as part of the ICC World Test Championship.
Pakistan team has reached Australia to play 3 match Test series starting December 14.

Discussing the upcoming series, Afridi expressed confidence in the team and acknowledged Australian opener David Warner’s impressive career.
While wishing Warner good luck, he didn’t anticipate a favorable end for the Australian batsman in his last Test series against Pakistan.
Highlighting the series’ significance for Pakistan, Afridi pointed out their top spot in the World Test Championship points table. As a left-arm fast bowler, he mentioned the team’s readiness for the challenge against the recently announced Australian squad.
Despite limited experience in Canberra, Afridi believes the four-day match against PM XI will aid in their preparation for the series, set to kick off in Perth.
The Pakistan squad boasts players like Shan Masood, Babar Azam, and others. The Australia tour schedule includes matches in Canberra, Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney.
