Border believes that the real 'acid' test of Cummins' captaincy will be when the Aussie side tours India and England
According to reports in Pakistan, Babar Azam will continue to lead the T20I side, but is likely to lose the captaincy in other formats.
New Zealand and Pakistan have scored in excess of 400 in their first innings, and the quality of the pitch has been questioned once again by the pundits.
The second Test will also be played at Karachi begining Januaray 2.
Australia's tour in March-April was their first tour of Pakistan since 1998 while England marked their first visit to the country in 17 years
The Babar Azam-led Pakistan have already lost the Test series against England, with a match still to go at Karachi.
After a brutal loss at Multan against England, Babar Azam and Pakistan have gotten under a turmoil of backlashes.
In the first three days, already seven batters have scored hundreds as it is raining tons in Rawalpindi.
Australia last won the Test series in India in 2004
The Aussies have been performing with great aplomb in subcontinent conditions and will be keeping an eye on the bigger picture - the Border-Gavaskar trophy and the World Test Championship.
