Islamabad, Sep 4: Due to a run of subpar games, Pakistan’s cricket team dropped two spots in the ICC World Test Rankings, from sixth to eighth.
The men in green, captained by Shan Masood, have recently gone through a difficult time having lost five straight Test matches.
This awful run of play includes back-to-back whitewashes against Australia and Bangladesh, which have badly damaged their reputation.
The most recent series against Bangladesh was especially harmful because Pakistan lost the Rawalpindi Test series by an unprecedented 2-0 margin.
Masood’s team’s problems are exacerbated by the fact that Bangladesh has defeated Pakistan in a Test series for the first time.
Pakistan has played 20 games thus far, earning 1,528 points and a rating of 76. These numbers demonstrate how difficult it is for the squad to stay consistent over the game’s longest format.In the meantime, Australia maintains its dominant position, coming in first and closely followed by India in second. Concerns regarding the team’s direction are raised by Pakistan’s sharp decline in the rankings.
In addition to developing emerging talent from the Pakistan ODI Champions Cup, which is set to take place in Faisalabad from September 12 to September 29, Pakistan hopes to reconstruct and revitalize its local system.
