ICC World Test Championship: As the West Indies prepare for a two-match Test series against Pakistan, Test coach Andre Coley views it as an opportunity to finish his tenure on a high note. This series, commencing on January 17 in Karachi, serves as a chance for the Caribbean side to build momentum and address longstanding challenges in unfamiliar conditions.

The West Indies last won a Test match in Pakistan in November 1990, a 1-0 series triumph that stands as a distant memory. Since then, the best they have managed is a draw in Multan in 2006. In total, the teams have faced each other only seven times in Pakistan since that fateful 1990 series, with the hosts often proving to be dominant.

This series forms part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) cycle but holds little significance in terms of qualification stakes. Both Pakistan and West Indies are languishing at the bottom of the WTC standings, ranked eighth and ninth, respectively.
