After Pakistan’s crushing defeat in the first match of the ongoing three-match Test series against England, Shan Masood’s captaincy is in danger. It is believed that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), angry with the poor performance of the Pakistan team, can take away the captaincy from the 34-year-old player. Let us tell you that on Friday, England registered a spectacular victory by an innings and 47 runs in the Multan Test against Pakistan. Now their eyes are on the second Test. This match will also be played in Multan.
Will Shan Masood lose captaincy?
According to the report of Pakistan’s reputed channel Sama TV, after the series against England, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) can take away the captaincy from Shan Masood. In his place, any one of Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha can be appointed as the new captain of the team.
Captain expressed disappointment
Masood expressed disappointment after the defeat in the Multan Test. He said – It is disappointing to lose once again. England found a way to win the match and created opportunities for themselves. The reality is that the best teams in Test cricket find a way to win the match. In the first innings, the left-handed batsman played an important role in taking the team’s score beyond 500 by scoring 151 runs. After the match, Masood said – I would not say that my team is mentally weak, but we expected that this pitch would break from the third day, so we stretched our innings. But at the end of the day you have to find ways to take 20 wickets and we have not been doing that in recent times.
