It should be noted that the first Test of Pakistan vs South Africa will start tomorrow.
This series, consisting of two Test matches, is part of the ICC World Test Championship
Moreover, the national cricket team captain, Shan Masood, says that they will try to make a good start to the Test Championship.
During a press conference in Lahore, he said that this time the PCB has done a lot for red-ball cricket. Camps were organized for red ball, and the players played county cricket.
Masood said that South Africa is the champion team, and they will improve their morale by playing well against them. To win Test matches, you have to take 20 wickets.
He added that the home series is very important in the Test cycle. The results in the last Test Championship were not good, but there were some positive things. We will try our best to start well.
The Test captain said that if both teams score 600 runs on a flat track, it is not beneficial. For good results, you have to sacrifice your runs. Runs are made according to the conditions; a century is not necessary in every match.
Shan added that if there are new conditions at the Gaddafi Stadium, we will try to understand the conditions quickly.
He said that Sajid Khan is our very important bowler in these conditions. Unfortunately, he had a viral flu, so we will prepare the team by looking at the fitness of the players.
The Test captain said that it is very important to take advantage of the home conditions, each team prepares the conditions according to its own.
Earlier, they went with three spin bowlers and a fast bowler in these conditions, but now they will decide after looking at the conditions. The element of reverse song has also been added to team building.
