KARACHI: According to skipper Shan Masood, Pakistan’s top priority in their effort to assemble a formidable Test team is consistency in selection.
The national red-ball side has lost all five of its games since Shan took over as captain in December of last year, with their worst performance coming in a 2-0 Test thumping of Bangladesh.
Pakistan’s next task is even more difficult: they will welcome England for a three-match series that begins in Multan on October 7. Despite the severity of the Bangladesh shock, there have been no notable additions to the Pakistani squad for the opening match, indicating that the team administration views the Test project as a work in progress.
Shan remarked, “To build any team, you need to support the boys and show consistency in selection.”
