After convincingly beating the Cricket Australia XI for 201 runs, Pakistan is all set to take on the Aussies in their own backyard.
Pakistan would play a three-match series, which starts next week in a day-night fixture at the Gabba, Brisbane.
Pakistans express bowler Wahab Riaz, who is not new to the conditions offered in Australia, is of the view that leg spinner Yasir Shah would prove to be Pakistans trump card against the hosts.
I havent got any feedback on (Shah) yet, but obviously hes recovering well, Wahab said of the legspinner, reported cricket.com.au.
Hes going to be our trump card and we want him to play the first Test match, added Wahab.
The leggie injured his back during a training session at the Cazaly's Stadium in Cairns on Tuesday, and as a result miss the Pakistans warm-up game against CA XI.
Yasirs back issues came as a major blow to the Pakistani camp, which heavily relies on the abilities of their first choice spinner.
Coming to the fast bowlers, Wahab said that the team is endowed with a varying pace attack.
All the fast bowlers in this squad, they have their own speciality, he said.
Amir bowls that inswinger really well, Rahat moves it both ways, I come with the pace, Sohail Khan has a tendency to have a good outswinger, with Imran Khan as well, so everybody is really good and working hard and it depends who gets a chance to play.
Pakistan is scheduled to play its first Test match against Australia on December 15 at The Gabba in Brisbane.
