Australia have gone to Pakistan for the first time since 1998.
It is a great moment for Pakistan to host this series.
But only a few days before the tour begins, Ashton Agar has received a death threat.

The threat was reportedly made on his partner Madeleine’s social media handle, as per TNN.
The Sydney Morning Herald’s report said that a part of the message read, “Your children will miss their Father if he comes to Pakistan. Our snipers will blow his head.”
“Cricket Australia is aware of a social media post, of which the nature and content has been investigated by the PCB, CA and combined government security agencies,” said Cricket Australia in a statement.

“There are extensive security plans in place for this type of social media activity, which, in this case, is not considered a risk. No further comment will be made at this time,” said a joint statement by the CA and PCB.
