Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan has described the Australian team as one of the weakest he has seen in years.

"This is one of the weakest Australian teams I have seen play, they are still recovering from the loss of some great players but they are surviving because of their strong domestic structure," Imran said during a cricket show on Geo New Channel on Monday.

Pakistan suffered a whitewash on their recent tour of Australia, losing the test series 3-0, the one-dayers 5-0 as well as defeat in the lone Twenty20 match.

Imran, who played 88 tests and 175 one-day internationals, said the biggest problem affecting Pakistan cricket was a weak domestic structure.

"That is why we are not thriving despite having so much raw talent. We should have beaten this Australian team in the recent series," he said.
