Shaheen Shah Afridi: Ahead of three-match Test series against Australia starting from December 14 in Perth, Pakistan fast-bowler Hasan Ali said his team will be trying to ensure that they do not discuss their on-field plans in front of veteran left-handed opener Usman Khawaja, especially in Urdu.

Ali’s interesting comments come after Khawaja had made 496 runs and taken the Player of the Series award in Australia’s 1-0 series win in Pakistan in 2022. Khawaja is of Pakistan origin and even answered some questions in Urdu during a pre-series press conference.

"Usman bhai is familiar with Urdu. But after he leaked our strategies to the Australia cricket team in Karachi, we've become more cautious. We'll ensure not to discuss plans in Urdu in front of him to keep our strategies confidential. We'll move a bit farther away from him to strategize for the game," said Hasan to reporters.
