Shan Masood and Babar Azam (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan cricket team captain and opening batsman Salman Butt has made a big statement about the future captain of the Pakistan cricket team. If Salman is to be believed, he is now seen advocating the removal of Babar Azam from the captaincy and making Shan Masood the new captain. It is worth noting that Salman’s statement has come at a time when Pakistan was eliminated from the group stage in the recently concluded ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The Pak team had to be eliminated from the tournament after losing against the USA, after which the team was criticized by the cricket world as well as the Pakistani cricket fraternity. Salman Butt wants to see Shan Masood as captain Let us tell you that in a video uploaded on his YouTube channel regarding the new captain of the Pakistan cricket team, Salman Butt said – There are some flaws in the team due to which the players are not able to perform despite having the skill. There is someone in the team who does not have any strategy for planning, but has a lot of attitude. Seeing this attitude in the team, I will obviously make Shan Masood the new captain. It is worth noting that when Babar Azam resigned from the captaincy after the early exit of the Pakistan cricket team from the ICC World Cup 2023, Shan Masood was appointed as the new captain. However, before the start of the T20 World Cup 2024, in a dramatic manner, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) again handed over the command of the team in white ball cricket to Babar, but the team did not get the desired results. On the other hand, Shan Masood has a lot of experience in captaincy. Currently, he is leading Pakistan in Test cricket. Apart from this, he also leads Yorkshire in the County Championship and Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). Well, now it will be interesting to see whether PCB gives Shan Masood the captaincy of the white ball along with the red ball or not? However, apart from Masood, young fast bowler Shaheen Afridi and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan are also in the race for captaincy.
Fans angry at Shan Masood’s wicket, accused Cricket Australia of misuse of technology
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.
