The Cricket Pod: Mohammed Abbas 'very different from other Pakistan fast bowlers'

We look back at Pakistan's victory over Australia in the two-match Test series, and discuss the latter's one-off T20 game against the UAE

Also, will Fakhar Zaman keep defying conventions to forge a successful career at the top of the order?
