Masood says match will test Pakistan’s depth and adaptability at a newly refurbished venue
Pakistan captain Shan Masood won the toss and opted to bat first in the opening Test of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) series against South Africa at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, on Sunday.
Speaking at the toss, Shan said the match marks an important challenge for his side against one of the strongest Test teams in the world.
“We’re going to bat first. We have two quality spinners who can do the job for us, and Salman Ali Agha can roll his arm over as well,” Masood said.
