Pakistani cricket team in Australia in 1989–90
International cricket tour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pakistan national cricket team toured Australia in the 1989–90 season, under the captaincy of Imran Khan. The series set a Pakistani team, regarded as one of the strongest team in the world against an Australian team returning from an unexpectedly successful tour of England. The series was marred by a series of incidents and conflicts, including a walk off by the Pakistani players during a tour match against Victoria in protest at an umpire's ruling. The three match Test series was won by Australia 1–0.[1]
