After a poor outing in the inaugural edition of the ICC World Test Championship, Pakistan Cricket Team will be desperate to bounce back in the second cycle of the Test supremacy.
The Men in Green failed to secure a place in the top 5 and recorded only four wins in 12 matches. Pakistan ended the competition in sixth place with 43.3% points.
The upcoming cycle will prove Pakistan with a great opportunity considering they have a couple of overseas tours against lower-ranked sides. If they manage to secure a couple of victories in away games followed by home Test series wins, Babar Azam & Co will be a serious contender for the final spot.
