In the first ODI against Australia, middle-order batsman Irfan Khan and opening batsman Saeem Ayub started their ODI career.
Both the players won this honor by participating in the opening match of the ongoing three-match ODI series against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Irfan Khan became the 243rd player to make his ODI debut while Saeem Ayub became the 244th Pakistani player to start his ODI career.
Former captain and legendary fast bowler Wasim Akram gave green caps to Saeem Ayub and Irfan Khan on their debut before the toss.
This is Pakistan’s first ODI match after last year’s ICC ODI World Cup in India.
Saeem Ayub did not perform well in the first one-day match of his career and scored only one run and was clean bowled by Mitchell Starc while Irfan Khan was run out after scoring 22 runs.
