Pakistan might have been beaten across formats on their tour of South Africa but coach Mickey Arthur feels the team has learnt quite a bit
South Africa won the series against Pakistan 2-1, adding to a 3-0 success in a 3-match Test series and a 3-2 win in a 5-match
Seven Pakistan batsmen reached double figures, but the highest score was 26 by Mohammad Rizwan.

Yuzvendra Chahal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Kedar Jadhav have also made gains.
Despite Babar already averaging over 55 in T20Is and being the No. 1-ranked batsman in the format, Arthur feels the world is yet to see
