Arriving in Australia for the pivotal Test series, the Pakistani team—which has seen numerous changes in leadership across formats and at the administrative level—looked to get past their poor ODI World Cup performance. The competition will take place from December 14 to January 7. The Shan Masood-led team arrived in Sydney more than a week ahead of schedule with the intention of preparing for the weather in Australia. They were also expected to play a practise match. Australia is ranked fourth in the World Test Championship cycle, and Pakistan will be looking to maintain their top spot.
