On being No. 1 in Tests: We need to do a lot to maintain it, says Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq

Pakistan put a gutsy show in the four-match Test series against England in which Misbah hit two fifties and a century.

New Delhi: Soon after Pakistan became the No. 1 team in Tests, Pakistan Test skipper Misbah-ul-Haq has said that the team now needs to do a lot to maintain the top spot.

Misbah and his men became the No. 1 Test side after the fourth Test between India and West Indies was washed out due to rain.

The 42-year-old took to Twitter to congratulate his team but also said that a lot more needs to be done to ensure that they don't let go of the numero uno spot.

Congratulations to whole nation and especially team Pakistan including everyone who is associated with the team in any capacity #No1TestTeam — Misbah Ul Haq (@captainmisbahpk) August 23, 2016

We have done it but we need to do a lot more to maintain it. Tough tasks ahead. #No1TestTeam — Misbah Ul Haq (@captainmisbahpk) August 23, 2016

Pakistan had moved to No. 2 on the table last week, after drawing the Test series in England 2-2.
