Lahore [Pakistan], January 20 (ANI): Pakistan batter Mohammad Rizwan feels Australia and Pakistan are two teams that make the perfect recipe for a thrilling and exciting series.

Rizwan, who made world record for most T20I runs last year, has expressed excitement for the Australia series.

Rizwan has said that his energy is already bouncing off the walls to face a competitive side like Australia at home.
"I can feel ripples of excitement for Australia's tour of Pakistan," said Rizwan.

Mohammad Rizwan is convinced that a strong bond between cricketers of both nations will further magnify the excitement of this notable tour.

This further strengthens the bond between two countries," said Rizwan.
