After Pakistan's poor results in recent Test matches, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) removed Shan Masood as captain and brought back Babar Azam to lead the team. Even after losing the leadership role, the team management believes Masood will continue to play a big role. Earlier, Sarfaraz Ahmed had expressed fitness concerns.
However, the injury is not serious, and the team is not worried about his fitness. The coach praised Shan Masood for handling the situation in a positive way. He believes the left-handed batter gave his best as captain and can now help the team by scoring runs as a senior player.
Pakistan trains hard for the West Indies tour
Meanwhile, Pakistan has worked hard before leaving for the West Indies. The players completed a one-month training camp in Lahore and then got a short break of four to five days. After that, they attended another three-day camp in Rawalpindi before flying to the Caribbean.
The coach shared, “Our preparation is excellent. We had a one-month camp in Lahore before giving the boys about four to five days off. After that, we had a 3-day camp in here [in Rawalpindi] again. The humidity over there is kind of the same as it is here. The weather will be warm, and that's what we're preparing for, so we expect good results.”
"We expect to get used to the weather"- Sarfaraz Ahmed on getting used to conditions
Sarfaraz further explained, “We've built our team looking at conditions in the West Indies. We've prepared with that in mind. We prepared some pitches with grass on and some spin tracks. We practiced on both. We have a practice match in Port-of-Spain where both our tests are [in Tarouba and then at Queen's Park Oval]. We expect to get used to the weather.”
Before the Test series starts, Pakistan will play a four-day practice match in Trinidad. Both Test matches will also be played in Trinidad, giving them enough time to get used to the local conditions.
