Story

In Karachi, Pakistan, test captain Shan Masood expressed optimism about his team's chances against England in an upcoming test series, aiming to leverage home advantage. The series follows a dismal streak for Pakistan, which has not won a home test match in over two years, including a 3-0 defeat to England during their last visit in 2022. Masood acknowledged the team's struggles, particularly in batting, and emphasized the need for improvement after recent losses to Bangladesh. The selection committee has retained most of the squad despite these challenges, hoping to turn their fortunes around. England arrives without key players like James Anderson and Mark Wood, but Masood remains cautious, recognizing the strength of the remaining squad. He called for his players to rise to the occasion and deliver memorable performances in Multan, where the first test is set to begin next week.
