Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood said on Sunday that their effort would be to make the “best use” of the home advantage.
With 2 wins from their 5 Tests so far, Pakistan has a point percentage of 36.66, which has placed them below India, Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka in the World Test Championship rankings.
“There’s a lot to play for in the World Test Championship. The top two places are yet to be decided, and it can still go with any side,” Masood said ahead of Test series against Bangladesh.
After the Bangladesh Tests, Pakistan will face the likes of England, West Indies, and South Africa in the upcoming months for their upcoming Test matches.
“Our effort would be to make the best use of the home advantage in our seven Tests. And obviously, even in South Africa, we can gain points and win a series, which is a great opportunity for us,” he added.
“The recent appointments of Jason Gillespie and Tim Nielson are an exciting opportunity for Pakistan cricket. Two experienced coaches have come in both white-ball and red-ball cricket for us, they were big players in their respective fields,” Masood further added.
