Pakistan one-day captain Azhar Ali has expressed that he wants to see the team take the form that had made them the world’s number one-ranked Test side into their one-day series against England.
"Confidence is very high and belief is there, obviously coming from the Test series, we had a very good couple of months here," Azhar told reporters at Southampton on Tuesday. "We take that confidence into the one-day internationals as well.
"Being number one is a massive boost and a proud moment for Pakistan cricket and the whole nation is very happy about it, and as players the team is really happy about it.
"It s definitely a good thing for us. Our one-day ranking is not great right now but we will take the opportunity and the way the team is performing, hopefully we can convert it into ODIs as well."
However, Pakistan reached on top of International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Test rankings on Monday for the first ever time since the rankings were introduced in 2003 after the rain-hit fourth and last Test between the West Indies and India ended in a draw.
Pakistan will face the English team on their home ground in the upcoming five-match ODI series, starting from today at Southampton.
