Pakistan, currently third in the Test rankings, briefly attained World No 2 in 2006 but have never been No 1.
Misbah said Pakistan could take the top spot if they won in Sri Lanka and against Australia in October. "We have a very good chance and it's a big motivation for us to become top Test team," Misbah said as the team departed for Colombo.
