Pakistan Cricket Board: The Pakistan cricket team suffered a humiliating defeat in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. Bangladesh won the series 2-0. Pakistan's performance has been heavily criticized by fans as well as former cricketers. Pakistani bowlers faced the most criticism for their performance. This defeat almost knocked Pakistan out of the race for the World Test Championship final.
Former fast bowler Yasir Arafat has criticized Pakistan's Test performance. He has also made sharp statements against the Pakistan Cricket Board and its officials. Arafat said that Pakistan needs to prepare for red ball cricket, but the PCB has decided to organize the Champions Cup tournament which will have ODI matches. Preparation is very important before the important Test series against England.
Arafat said on YouTube that the trend of good cricket is coming to an end in the country. Fitness issues, technical issues and pitch are some of the things that have been highlighted. Today I heard that Jason Gillespie and the high performance coach are going back to Australia. You are organising a one-day tournament. I don't understand these decisions. The Pakistan Cricket Board is a circus. It is full of jokers and it has become a joke. You have to play a Test series against England and you are bringing players for ODIs.'
Shan Masood is saying in the press conference that our players have not played first class cricket for one and a half years. You have to play a big series against England and they have to play ODI matches. It seems like a circus to me. The people who are working are jokers and their decisions are a joke.
According to Geo News, the PCB is planning to consider options like Sri Lanka or the United Arab Emirates to host Pakistan's Test series against England. Jason Gillespie's tenure as Pakistan's Test head coach did not start well. Under Gillespie, the Shan Masood-led Pakistan team suffered a clean sweep in the first assignment.
Bangladesh won the first Test by 10 wickets and the second Test by six wickets. The second Test was moved from Karachi to Rawalpindi due to ongoing construction work at the Karachi National Stadium for next year's Champions Trophy. Both matches were played in Rawalpindi. Renovation work is currently underway at the Karachi National Stadium, Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium and the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium for the Champions Trophy. It is possible that Masood and his team may have to play the series against England in Sri Lanka or the UAE.
