Shan Masood, expressed sincere gratitude to the Australian Prime Minister for the gracious hospitality extended to them during the event.
Time will tell if Pakistan cricket fans will see Glenn McGrath working with Pakistan team or not in the near future, but if he accepts the offer, it would be valueable addition to the Pakistan’ team management.
Glenn McGrath was renowned for his precision, consistency, and unwavering determination during his playing days. McGrath’s incredible record of 563 Test wickets at a miserly average, coupled with his 381 wickets in One-Day Internationals (ODIs), firmly cemented his legacy as an all-time great.
