Australia's star spinner Nathon Lyon who is preparing for a comeback in Test cricket after suffering a calf injury, earlier this year is enthused about bowling against Pakistan's "superstar" Babar Azam. The three-match Test series against Pakistan will begin on December 14 in Perth, with matches in Melbourne and Sydney following before a two-match series against the West Indies at home in January.

Lyon has featured in three Sheffield Shield matches in the last month following a lengthy recovery from the first serious injury of his Test career, and he will return in match number 101 against Pakistan as an important part of Australia's bowling lineup.
