The Pakistan cricket team has landed in Australia for a three-match Test series vs the Aussies starting on December 14.

An unexpected sight of the team led by Shan Masood has created a buzz on social media, drawing both criticism and amusement.

A video surfaced on social media where it can be seen that the Pakistani cricket team players are taking charge of their luggage, including kit bags, and loading them into a truck because no official was present at the spot.

The video featuring players, including Mohammad Rizwan and former skipper Babar Azam, loading their luggage has generated varied responses on social media.

Some fans voiced frustration over the absence of a welcoming committee from the Pakistan embassy or Cricket Australia, while others found humor in the situation.

The squad for the three-match Test series includes three newly added players, batter Saim Ayub, all-rounder Aamer Jamal, and pacer Khurram Shehzad. Pacer Mir Hamza makes a return to the team, while players from the World Cup squad such as Babar Azam, Muhammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi have been retained.
