England captain Joe Root has said that the current players have the potential to help the team becoming the number one test team in the world. Currently, they are eyeing to win the third Test against Pakistan as well.
Meanwhile, England lost their first test against West Indies, but won the final two to claim the series, and then beat Pakistan in the first test by three wickets as well. Meanwhile, the second test ended in a draw after the rain has stopped the game.
"We know we are not the finished article, we know we have challenges and hurdles to overcome, and things we need to get better at if we want to be the number one team in the world," Root said to on Thursday.
"But I can certainly see this group of players going on to do that. We have got a great group of bowlers now that we feel cover a number of different surfaces and challenges wherever we go in the world. That is an exciting place to be," he shared.
"With the competition that is there, people have to keep proving their worth in the team. That is not just the bowlers, but the batters as well. We need to make sure we are driving the standards up all the time," Root added.
"We have not settled on an XI yet, it is so hard to tell with that wicket right now. It has been mostly under cover for the last week, and with the sun finally out and a bit of wind, it could change drastically over the course of today. So we want to keep everything on the table and then make a strong call tomorrow," Root concluded.
