Pakistan Test team captain Shan Masood left the wreckage of the worst defeat on the pitch.

(.. Asghar Ali Mubarak…)

Shan Masood, the captain of the Pakistan Test team, blamed the worst defeat on the pitch and said that there was a mistake in understanding the pitch, he could not play well in the second innings, and I apologize to the fans for the defeat.

In a press conference after the historic Test defeat against Bangladesh, Shan Masood said that we felt that the fifth day’s play would not be completed due to the weather, so we decided to declare the first innings,

but if you ask me now, we should We should have scored 50 to 100 runs more which would have given us a better grip on the match but as a team we made a lot of mistakes over the 4 days.

He said that the pitch had a lot for the fast bowlers for the 4 days but the Bangladeshi batsmen did a lot. Batted well and got few chances due to our poor fielding, also our bowlers could not take advantage of the second new ball.

The captain of the national team said that the way we dismissed their players early with the third new ball, if we had done well with the second new ball, the result of the match would have been different because at that time we were 200 runs away.

The lead was there and half of the Bangladesh team was out. Asked about the spinner not being included in the team, he said that I have already said that we felt there was a lot of grass on the pitch and look at the pitch situation added 4 fast bowlers in the team but we made a mistake in understanding the pitch.

He said that if we talk about spinners, we had Agha Salman and Saeem Ayub who can spin bowling if required, while Bangladesh also got help from spinners on the fifth day but before that we had batting and there were many opportunities in the bowling to maintain control of the match but we made several mistakes.

He said that on the fifth day we could not handle the pressure and did not play well in the second innings. In terms of batting, if we had taken one more session in batting, the situation might have been different.

When asked about the second Test, Shaan Masood said that he has not thought about it yet because we have 5 days, looking at the pitch situation, we will try to field the best playing XI and if a spinner is needed. If necessary, Abrar will be included in the team.

He said that we are all disappointed and as a team leader I want to apologize to the nation that we could not give the results that were expected of us. Admit it.

He further said that playing for the country is an important responsibility and the aim is only to win, we will try our best to continue the winning streak by winning the next match.

It should be noted that the first test of the two-test series between Pakistan and Bangladesh was played in Rawalpindi, where the match was headed for a draw until the end of the fourth day, but the national team performed very disappointingly on the fifth and last day of the test.

In the Rawalpindi Test, Bangladesh defeated the Pakistan cricket team for the first time in this format, and took the first Test by 10 wickets to take a 0–1 lead in the series.

National team captain Shan Masood decided to declare the first innings at 448 runs for the loss of 6 wickets, at that time Muhammad Rizwan was not out with 171 runs, on which former cricketers criticized Shan Masood and said. That they should have waited for Muhammad Rizwan’s double century.

In response to Pakistan’s 448 runs, the Bangladesh team was bowled out for 556 runs in the last session on the fourth day and took a lead of 117 runs over Pakistan.

However, the national team could score only 146 runs in the second innings, Mohammad Rizwan was outstanding by scoring 51 runs, Abdullah Shafiq 37, Babar Azam 22, Shan Masood 14, Saud Shakeel and Salman Ali Agha were out for zero.

Bangladesh achieved the target of 30 runs without loss and won by 10 wickets.
