After the shameful defeat by 10 wickets against Bangladesh, the side effects have started from Pakistan's side. Former Pakistan batsman Basit Ali has raised questions about Pakistan's opening batsman Abdullah Shafiq and the team's coach. Basit Ali said about Abdullah Shafiq that the way he got out, if I was in the dressing room, I would have told him to pack his bags and go. Shafiq scored only 2 runs in the first innings while he could contribute only 37 runs in the second innings.
He criticized Shafiq and said that the reason for Pakistan's defeat was his shot selection. After scoring 37 runs, you cannot throw your wicket away like this. Shan Masood should punish him. Shafiq was not the only one who threw his wicket away like this. Naseem Shah was also out wrongly.
Both the coaches were also targeted
Basit Ali did not stop there, he also targeted the coach of the Pakistan cricket team's ODI and Test team. He said that both Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie lost their first matches. Both made mistakes. Kirsten made a mistake in the super-over match against America while Gillespie did not read the Rawalpindi pitch correctly. The second and last test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh will be played on Friday. This will be Pakistan's last chance to draw the match.
Talking about the match, Pakistan's team came out with a full-pace attack in Rawalpindi. Both the captain and the team management failed to read the pitch there. While Pakistan did not include a single specialist spinner in the playing eleven, spin bowlers took 10 out of 20 wickets from Bangladesh's side.
