After losing the first Test against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi, the Pakistan team is being criticized a lot. Let us tell you, in the first Test match played in Rawalpindi, Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by 10 wickets. Bangladesh has defeated Pakistan for the first time in a Test match. Now former captain Salman Butt has also given his opinion on this defeat of the host.

Let us tell you, in the Rawalpindi Test, Pakistan did not include its important spinner Abrar Ahmed in the playing XI and the team played this match with four fast bowlers. However, their plan did not succeed and Bangladesh’s spinners bowled brilliantly in this match and completely destroyed Pakistan’s batting lineup. Pakistan’s assistant coach Azhar Mahmood has raised questions about the pitch and said that the pitch did not prove to be important for the fast bowlers the way he thought.

Now Salman Butt has put forth his point of view on this. The former player shared a video on his YouTube channel and said, ‘Where do I start this? You came out to play with four fast bowlers and then you declared your innings. Not only this, you did not bowl with line and length and everything did not go in your favor. According to me, for the first time the average speed of Bangladesh bowlers was more than us. They looked fitter than us.

The junior fast bowlers of our team performed better than the seniors. This team has made many mistakes and I don’t know where to start from? We have no idea who we should pick and who we should blame.

There was no problem with the pitch: Salman Butt

Salman Butt further said, ‘There was no problem with the pitch. The quality of our bowling was very poor. Our bowling coach said that we did not get much turn on the pitch. Not only this, the bowlers also criticized it. This does not make any sense especially when the Pakistan team was all out within two sessions.

Their fast bowlers got wickets. Bangladesh’s fast bowlers got the top order out and the spinners played their role quite well in the middle. So it would not be right to blame any one of them.

Let us tell you, for the first time Pakistan has lost a Test match at home by 10 wickets. However, the host will look to make a strong comeback in the second Test. The second Test is starting from August 30 in Rawalpindi.
