Skipper Azhar Ali on Friday said the Test series loss in Australia is unacceptable and it has hurt the pride of Pakistan cricket.

Pakistan had a forgettable tour of Australia as they lost the T20 series 0-2 before suffering embarrassing innings defeats in the two Tests, which were part of World Test Championship.

"It is very disappointing how we lost the two Tests. The defeats in Australia have hurt our cricket pride and it is hard to accept," Azhar told reporters in Lahore after returning from Australia.

"We had gone there with all the right preparations and with a positive mindset. So the two innings defeat is not acceptable and I will offer no excuses for this."
"Sometimes it is also about luck. I am middling the ball and I am feeling comfortable at the crease, my footwork is good but luck just has not been with me."
"We have to come up with a new game plan. We want a track that suits us. We need to start afresh on how to win tests in Pakistan."
