Shahid Afridi lambasts – Previous Pakistan commander Shahid Afridi, on Sunday, attacked officeholder Test captain Shan Masood and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) after the group surrendered to an embarrassing 10-wicket misfortune against Bangladesh in the series opener. It was Pakistan’s very first misfortune to Bangladesh in Test history, where they have confronted each other multiple times, and it saw the side path 1-0 in the two-Test challenge.

Afridi, raising “serious inquiries”, scrutinized PCB over the pitch planning of the Rawalpindi Cricket Arena, and furthermore savaged Masood and the group the board over picking four quick bowler and not a solitary expert spinner for the Test match.

“A 10-wicket rout brings up difficult issues about the choice to set up this sort of pitch, select four quick bowlers and leave out an expert spinner. This to me plainly shows an absence of mindfulness about home circumstances,” he tweeted.

The Pakistan legend, be that as it may, remembered to compliment Bangladesh on their notable victory. The 10-wicket win was likewise their greatest ever triumph in Test cricket. “All things considered, you can’t remove the credit from Bangladesh for the brand of cricket they played all through the Test,” he added.

Shan Masood makes sense of choice behind picking four pacers

Pakistan’s bowling line-up for the primary Test included four quick bowlers – Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Khurram Shahzad and Mohammad Ali – and no expert spinners. Bangladesh, then again, had six twist bowling choices close by. Also, it was the spinners who had the effect in the match.

Bangladesh tweakers picked nine wickets, as against none from Pakistan, seven of which came in the second innings between Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Shakib Al Hasan as the guests collapsed the hosts for only 146 runs, their most reduced innings all out against the resistance in a match.
