Can Pakistan still qualify for World Test Championship Final?
While Pakistan finished at the bottom of the standings in the previous cycle, their chances of qualifying for the final yet again look bleak. Having already suffered three defeats, Shan Masood and co. could have a long season. Their next assignment in Tests is a tough tour of England and Pakistan are slated to face a stern exam yet again.
While Pakistan could thrive on the docile wickets of England, they could face problems with their lesser-penetrative bowling unit.
