Pakistan batter Ahmed Shehzad has criticized red-ball captain Shan Masood for the team’s poor performance in the Test series against Bangladesh. Shehzad expressed his thoughts on his YouTube channel, questioning Masood’s leadership and team selection.
Shehzad highlighted Masood’s ordinary record in the red-ball format since 2020, with only three fifties in several matches. He also criticized Masood’s appointment as captain, citing his lack of vision and leadership skills.
Shehzad emphasized that speaking good English is not the only requirement for a team leader, but rather a good captain should have a vision, technical knowledge, and the ability to inspire teammates.
He also questioned Masood’s press conferences, saying they lack logic and are filled with excuses. Shehzad praised Masood’s apology after the defeat against Bangladesh but asked why he didn’t perform well earlier.
Shehzad also criticized the team’s decision to not play spinners in the first Test, citing the scorching heat in Rawalpindi as an excuse. He emphasized the need to produce quality cricket and form a playing XI that can win matches.
