Edward Hill, one of a group of five Australian fans currently in Rawalpindi, was asked how he was enjoying his time in Pakistan.

“I love it. I’ve been thinking about coming to Pakistan since 1998. I’ve heard for many, many years that the people of Pakistan are the friendliest in the world and I’m witnessing it now.”

“I love being in Pakistan…it’s just a dream to come here. Everyone is so friendly,” he added in a separate video.

He also thanked series sponsors TikTok for arranging tickets for the entire tour for the entire series after discovering upon landing in Pakistan that tickets for the first two days of the test opening were already sold out.

“I’m here for the first time in a long time to see the boys play [against] Pakistan,” said Ben Lancaster, from Tamworth in Australia, while Timothy Smith, from Brisbane, said he “has been waiting 24 years to come to Pakistan.”

On the decision to come and support Australia in Pakistan, Hill said there were a lot of unknowns before the band unanimously decided to make the trip to see where things go from there. . “When the visas arrived, we were like ‘Yup, let’s go!'”

Hill said the group also plans to travel to Karachi and Lahore for the other two tests of the series, adding that most of their group members will return home before the One-Day International series.
