There is a lot of heat in August, and even in October, it remains quite hot. So, we will have to consider many things,\u201d Masood said.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the complexity of the series, the left-hand batter outlined the importance of quickly announcing the core group and squad to provide clarity on Pakistan\u2019s cricket.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will try to quickly announce our core group and the squad, so that there is a certain clarity on how Pakistan wants to play cricket in this manner,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The 34-year-old stressed the significance of adapting to various playing conditions, suggesting that the team might need to explore unconventional strategies. He also expressed a willingness to take risks and a commitment to elevating the team\u2019s Test game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is also essential to assess in which conditions our team will thrive. It\u2019s possible that in such conditions, bowling-friendly pitches may not be available. In that case, creating seam-friendly or spin-friendly wickets may be necessary, and you may need to consider playing an extra bowler in such situations,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/sports\/2023\/11\/shan-masood-extends-open-invitation-to-ahmed-shehzad-doors-are-open\/\">Shan<\/a> said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to explore all combinations, but I think one thing we are ready for is to take risks. We are prepared to improve our game, we are ready to enhance the quality of our Test. I think if we look at it realistically, we had two very good chances to win Test matches in Australia. We didn\u2019t win, but we took steps in the right direction,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>It is noteworthy that the national squad will play two Test series against Bangladesh and three Test series against England on home soil in August and October, respectively, after the T20I World Cup 2024 concludes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alsoread\">\n<h4 class=\"text-uppercase mb-10 mt-20 fs-18\">Also Read<\/h4>\n<div class=\"post-box sty22\">\n<div class=\"post-frame js-ratioHtP\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<h5 class=\"title\">David Warner receives Babar Azam-signed shirt from Shan Masood as a farewell gift<\/h5>\n<p>Warner bids adieu to Test cricket.
