Pakistan's batsmen had a good run in warmup matches, with uncapped openers Ahmed Shehzad and Shan Masood both scoring half centuries against South Africa and Younis Khan warming up for Test match with a century against the UAE.
But according to captain Misbah-ul-Haq, Pakistan were still unsure of the batting combination they will go in with in the first Test that starts on Monday.
Either Shehzad or Masood is expected to partner Khurram Manzoor and Misbah said it will be tough to decide which opener to drop.
“It's a tough choice because both the guys are batting well at the moment, but I think it's good for our team,” he said.
Misbah said he wanted his teammates to forget the humiliation in South Africa and try to prove that they could compete against a good side.
“It's not good to be in the past, always focus the present and future,” he said.
“No doubt that it's a tough series, we are playing against a good team but it's an opportunity to perform against a good team and prove that we are also a good side.”
