The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has released a creative and humorous promo video for the upcoming Pakistan-Australia T20 series, which also takes a playful swipe at India. The series is scheduled to begin on January 29, 2026, with matches at Qaddafi Stadium, Lahore, on January 29, 31, and February 1.

The promo highlights Pakistan’s famous hospitality and love for cricket, showing an Australian visitor being treated warmly across various settings. In one sequence, a taxi driver refuses to accept payment from the Australian passenger. When the Australian forgets to shake hands, the driver humorously calls him back, saying "handshake bhool gaye aap, lagta hai padosiyo ke paas bhi ruke the" (You forgot the handshake, looks like you even stopped by the neighbours)—an indirect humorous dig reflecting India’s perceived aloofness in contrast to Pakistan’s warmth.
