Pakistan and West Indies vowed a strong finish when they meet in the first Test in Multan on Friday despite dragging up the rear of the World Test Championship.
Pakistan are currently eighth in the 2023-25 cycle of the WTC, with their rivals in last place far behind finalists Australia and South Africa.
Skipper Shan Masood said the two-test series was significant for Pakistan, who finished sixth and seventh in the first two WTC cycles.
“This cycle is finishing so this series is significant for us as we want to become a better team by being unbeaten in home conditions,” he told reporters yesterday.
Pakistan ended a winless stretch of 11 home Tests by beating England 2-1 in October and Masood wants his team to keep winning at home despite a 2-0 defeat in South Africa this month.
“We won against England so it will be important we keep that momentum against the West Indies,” Masood said.
West Indies finished eighth in both previous WTCs and skipper Kraigg Brathwaite wants to end on a positive note this time.
