With seven out of the remaining nine Tests scheduled at home, Masood believes his side have a great chance to secure their spot, as they will look to take advantage of the home conditions. Masood asserted on the importance of the home conditions and the players must take advantage of it.

“If we need to compete in World Test Championship, we need to secure victories, which requires showing intent and positivity in every aspect of the game, whether it’s batting, bowling, or fielding. Our focus will be on achieving the best results for Pakistan. We need to win a significant number of the nine upcoming Test matches,” said Masood while speaking to media on Sunday in Rawalpindi.

The upcoming series against Bangladesh will be a pivotal series, since Pakistan have to win at-least 7 out of the 9 Tests to have a go at the finals.

“The positive thing is that we are playing at home and our players will be familiar with the conditions. We need to take advantage of it, but the key will be to handle mental and physical pressure,” Masood added.

The Test series against Bangladesh kicks-off from August 21. On Sunday, the visitors announced their squad for the two-match series.
