Australian cricket team against Pakistan in the UAE in 2012
The Pakistani cricket team played a home series against Australia from 28 August to 10 September 2012 in the United Arab Emirates. The series consisted of three One Day International and three Twenty20 International matches. The matches began in the late evening to avoid the high temperature of the daytime. The ODI series was reduced due to Australian Cricketers' Association and Cricket Australia concerns about the weather in the UAE during August.
Earlier the International Cricket Council approved a six-match T20I series on the request of Pakistan Cricket Board, but Pakistan still wanted to play an ODI series. The PCB chairman, Zaka Ashraf proposed the matches start in the evening to avoid the worst of the heat. The series was initially scheduled to take place in Sri Lanka but clashed with the dates of the Sri Lanka Premier League and was shifted to the UAE.
