Pakistan will be aiming to win its first ever Test series in the West Indies.&nbsp;Pakistan team, which has to win the three-Test series starting&nbsp;Friday&nbsp;to stay in fifth position in the ICC Test Team Rankings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pakistan, which attained top ranking after drawing a four-match series 2-2 to England in August last year, has slipped since then, losing six of eight Tests. It defeated the West Indies 2-1 in a home series in the United Arab Emirates but subsequently lost 2-0 to New Zealand and 3-0 to Australia in away series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pakistan can at best go to 99 points whereas a 3-0 loss could see it slip to 89 points and seventh position in the 10-team table led by India with 122 points. South Africa and Australia are second and third with 109 and 108 points, respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/cricket-south-africa-announced-icc-champions-trophy-squad--25991\">South Africa&#39;s Squad for ICC Champions Trophy<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p><strong>Series scenarios:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p># Pakistan wins 3-0 - Pakistan 99; West Indies 67<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p># Pakistan wins 2-0 - Pakistan 98, West Indies 68<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p># Pakistan wins 1-0 or 2-1 - Pakistan 97, West Indies 70<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p># West Indies wins 1-0 or 2-1 - Pakistan 92, West Indies 75<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p># West Indies wins 2-0 - Pakistan 91, West Indies 77<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p># West Indies wins 3-0 - Pakistan 89, West Indies 78<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Latest ICC Test Team Rankings (as on 19 April, before the West Indies-Pakistan series)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after: always\"><span style=\"display: none;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Latest ICC Test Team Rankings (as on 19 April, before the West Indies-Pakistan series)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rank&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Team&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Points<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;India&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 122<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;South Africa&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 109<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Australia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 108<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;England&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 101<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pakistan &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;97<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;New Zealand&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 96<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sri Lanka&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 90<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;West Indies&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 69<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bangladesh&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 66<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>10.&nbsp;&nbsp;Zimbabwe&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 05<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>With inputs from ICC Media Release<\/p>\r\n",
