‘We made a mistake’, Pakistan captain Shan Masood explained the reason for the defeat

New Delhi. Pakistan captain Shan Masood has given the reason for the defeat in the first test against Bangladesh. Masood told where his/her team went wrong. he/she said that we failed to read the pitch. Pakistan came with 4 fast bowlers in the Rawalpindi test match. There was no specialist spinner in its playing eleven. On the other hand, the spin duo of Shakib Al Hasan and Mehdi Hasan Miraz from Bangladesh together sent 7 batsmen of Pakistan to the pavilion in the second innings. This is Pakistan’s fourth test defeat under Masood’s captaincy.

After losing the first Test, Shan Masood said, ‘One should never make excuses. This pitch did not play the way we thought. The weather was also the same in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. It was raining in Rawalpindi for the last 8 and 9 days. In such a situation, looking at the pitch, we felt that fast bowlers could prove to be effective here. We could have done well with three pacers but it did not happen. After declaring the innings, we could have bowled and fielded well but could not succeed in it.’

This was the 14th Test clash between Pakistan and Bangladesh. Pakistan had won 12 Tests before this while one Test was drawn. Bangladesh defeated Pakistan in a Test for the first time. This is Bangladesh’s overall seventh Test win on foreign soil. Mushfiqur Rahim, who scored 191 runs in the first innings, was chosen as the Player of the Match.

Bakoun Shan Masood said, ‘We did not get what we expected from the pitch. In the end we were proved wrong. We have made many mistakes. We will have to perform better in the next match. There is always a place for a spinner in the team but Aamir Jamal is not there who performs well with the ball and bat. We will learn a lesson from this defeat and try not to repeat them in the next match.’
