In the 2 Test match series being played against Bangladesh, Pakistan team has faced a shameful defeat in the first match. Bangladesh defeated Pakistan for the first time on its home ground. In this match, Pakistan has faced a crushing defeat by 10 wickets. Seeing the shameful defeat of the team, former President of Pakistan Cricket Board and veteran player Rameez Raja is furious. He has also warned Pakistan captain Shan Masood.
What did Ramiz Raja say?
After the crushing defeat in Rawalpindi, the former cricketer raised questions on the team selection. The former legend said what is the logic behind selecting four fast bowlers and one spinner in the team. Bangladesh's bowlers have won this match. There was a mistake in the team selection. Playing without a spinner is beyond comprehension.
The fear of Pakistani bowlers is over
Rameez Raja further said that the reputation we used to rely on our fast bowlers is over. During the Asia Cup, India washed away our fast bowlers even in seaming conditions and then the secret was revealed to the world that the only way to deal with this line-up was to attack. Our fast bowlers have lost their pace and hence their magic has also been lost. Bangladesh's fast bowlers looked more in rhythm, while our bowlers could not bowl around their wickets.
Shan Masood was reprimanded
The former PCB chairman also reprimanded Pakistan captain Shan Masood for poor batting in the match. Shan Masood scored only 20 runs in both innings for Pakistan. Rameez Raja said that Shan Masood is facing continuous defeats at this time. He believed that things were difficult in the conditions of Australia and it was impossible for the Pakistan team to win the series there. But now they are losing to a team like Bangladesh on home ground, as neither the batsmen nor the bowlers have performed well. Shan Masood has to improve his batting and show that he has some knowledge of the game.
