Official of the US Consulate General in Karachi wished the Pakistan cricket team good luck ahead of their Test series against Australia.

The three-match series began today with a day-night affair at the Gabba in Brisbane.

Officials wearing Pakistan’s kit and holding bats, posted a video on their Facebook page with the caption, “Good luck Pakistan for the #PakVSAus Test series!”

Misbahul Haq confident of changing history in Australia

In the first Test, Australia won the toss and chose to bat against Pakistan at the Gabba.

The hosts kept an unchanged side from last month’s day-night third Test win over South Africa with spinner Nathan Lyon preferred to pacer Chadd Sayers.

Misbahul Haq wants Pakistan to be first Asian side to win in Australia

Pakistan, who are looking to win their first series in Australia in their 12th attempt, made two changes to the side that lost to New Zealand in Hamilton last month with captain Misbahul Haq and leg-spinner Yasir Shah returning.

Waqas | 7 years ago | Reply @Sam K: You made a comment on skin color comparing colored skin tone against white using food as a excuse. White supremacist attitude while working in US government contract job will not get you far. Internet trolling is a low paid job because it does not require much use of brain. I hope you will get some real education one day and get a promotion to do a real job which requires use of brain cells where it will not matter what skin color you have. Between focus on your work in the consulate rather than trolling.

Sam K | 7 years ago | Reply We (Pakistani's) need a good diet program! less oil and good foods. Just look at them, how healthy they appear (except the girl on extreme left, who still thinks kolachi chicken karahi is best!) btw, thank you US consulette!

Ahmed | 7 years ago | Reply @BrainBro: What I wrote is not called hate, its called truth which you are not used to hearing on your face. Better get used to it. Also US embassy in Islamabad should not have interrnet trolls in its ranks.

BrainBro | 7 years ago | Reply @Ahmed Haters gonna hate. Don't be a hater.

Ahmed | 7 years ago | Reply Your job is to process visas in US consulate so focus on your job

Ahmed | 7 years ago | Reply US consulate should focus on its own work of processing visas for which they are here in Pakistan rather than getting into other things. We know how sincere you are at the core of your heart so do not try to hide behind false curtains.
