Pakistan will play a three-match Test series against Australia at home. Babur batted 5 innings in the series and scored 390 runs at an average of 6. Babar played a great innings of 198 runs in the Karachi Test. Thanks to his innings, Pakistan was saved from defeat.

Cummins was the joint highest wicket-taker in the three-match Test series against Pakistan. He took 12 wickets for 260 runs in 6 innings. Aussie spinner Nathan Lyon also had 12 wickets. However, Cummins was nominated in the race to be the best in March. Australia won the series 1-0.

Cummins was instrumental in Australia’s victory in Karachi. He was the best in the match with 5 for 56 in the first innings and 3 for 23 in the second innings. The West Indies played a three-match Test series against England at home in March. Brathwaite was the highest run-getter in the series.

Brathwaite scored 341 runs in 6 innings with 1 century and 2 half-centuries. The Caribbeans won the series 1-0 thanks to his batting and captaincy.
