adminPakistan beat England by 72 runs in their second Test to hold an unassailable 2-0 lead in the best-of-three series.
“This team has the capacity to become the best,” said Mohsin. “But we have to perform in other parts of the world.”
England need to beat Pakistan in the final Test of the series to be sure of retaining their number one spot in the rankings at the 1 April cut-off.
Should England lose, they will finish on 118 points and South Africa will take over if they win all three Tests of their series against New Zealand in March.
If England draw the final Test in Dubai they will end on 119 points but still lose their status at the top of the rankings, by 0.01 of a point, provided South Africa sweep the Black Caps.
Pakistan are fifth but if they complete a 3-0 series win over England they will close the gap on India and Australia in third and fourth to only three points.
“Our target should be to gradually come in the top three in both Tests and one-day, and then gradually go to world number one,” added Mohsin, who was appointed temporary coach after Waqar Younis quit last September.—BBC.
