I took this job so that we can make the changes that we think will help this team – Shan Masood Shan Masood (Photo Source: Getty Images) Pakistan suffered a humiliating 0-2 defeat in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. Former cricketers as well as pundits are criticizing Pakistan’s way of playing. Let us tell you, it has been more than 1,300 days since Pakistan won a Test at home. The team won the last Test match against South Africa in 2020-21. Shan Masood flopped badly both as a captain and a batsman. Meanwhile, after the defeat against Bangladesh, he has made a big statement about his captaincy. Masood says that the last thing on his mind is his captaincy. I am not worried about my job security- Shan Masood Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood, speaking on India Today after the series defeat against Bangladesh, said, I am not worried about the security of my job. I took this job so that we can make the changes that we think will help this team. If I think this team can go in a certain direction, even if my personal failure takes Pakistan in that direction, I will be satisfied. Whatever time I get, I will be grateful for it and do my best. Shan Masood also stressed the importance of gaining more knowledge about Test cricket, which has been lacking in the Pakistani team, especially at the domestic level, for a long time. The Pakistani captain further explained the reason why the team proved weak against Bangladesh. We have to respect the opposition and Bangladesh had better discipline in both Test matches. We have to look at ourselves and the mistakes we have made in this series, and we have made a lot of mistakes. In terms of fitness, whether mental or physical, the match lasts for four or five days. What we have shown in this series is that we need to work on it.

Babar Azam had given up the captaincy of all three formats after the team’s poor performance in the ODI World Cup 2023. Shan Masood was again appointed as the captain of the Test, while Shaheen Afridi was made the captain of the white-ball format. However, after the 4-1 defeat in the T20 series against New Zealand, the board removed Shaheen from the captaincy. Babar Azam was again appointed captain ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024. Shahid Afridi and some former cricketers had expressed their displeasure over the board’s decision. After Pakistan’s shameful performance in the T20 World Cup, Shahid Afridi had said that Babar should have trusted Shaheen and should not have taken over the command again. This clearly shows that something is not right between Shaheen and Babar, but neither of them has confirmed this.

Fans expressed their anger at Cricket Australia regarding the use of technology. Australia vs Pakistan, 3rd Test (Image Credit- Twitter) The last Test match of the three-match series between Australia and Pakistan is being played in Sydney. An incident happened during the match, due to which there was a lot of uproar on social media. Actually, Australian bowler Mitchell Marsh dismissed Pakistani batsman Shan Masood twice in 10 balls. The first time he was saved due to a no ball, but the second time he had to return to the pavilion. During this, when for the first time Masood was caught in the slip off the ball of Mitchell Marsh and was given no ball, at that time Mohammad Rizwan was at the non-striker’s end, but when for the second time Masood was caught in the slip off the ball of Marsh, then the non-striker was at the end. Masood himself was seen at the end. In such a situation, the fans got very angry at Cricket Australia for the use of technology. A fan has shared a screenshot from the video of this incident. The fan has written, ‘I don’t understand why no one is talking about this? When Shan Masood was out and it was a no ball, then Rizwan was at the non-striker’s end and a no ball was given. But when Shan Masood was out for the second time and no ball was checked, Shan was at both the striker and non-striker ends. Wow, Cricket Australia first cheated with Babar by misusing technology and now did the same with Shan Masood. Just ashamed of you.
