Pakistani cricketers are coming under pressure and criticism the most ever since they were battered in the series by the Bangladesh team. Former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali has reacted to Abdullah Shafique.
In the first Test match, Abdullah Shafique could not perform well against Bangladesh, after which he could not escape from Basit Ali. He opened up about the Pakistan team's weaknesses on his YouTube channel.
In fact, the Bangladesh team had scripted a new chapter in history by defeating the Pakistan team by 10 wickets in the first Test match. The Nazmul Shanto-led team won in Rawalpindi. This was the first time Bangladesh won a Test innings against Pakistan. The wretched Pakistan batting had replied with a 146-run effort in the second innings, and Bangladesh chased down the target of just 30 to win. Pakistan had scored 448 runs for 6 wickets in the first innings; these 6 wickets cost 565 runs to the Tigers of Bangladesh. So, Bangladesh took a lead of 117 runs in the first innings.
Pakistan lost wickets early in the second innings. There was a sudden fall of wickets on the fifth day, but Abdullah Shafiq was out there doing his best to sustain the innings, with Mohammad Rizwan responding, and still the team couldn't score big. It seemed to be curtains for Pakistan when Shafiq got out in spite of playing a massive shot. Now former Pakistani cricketer, Basit Ali spoke about virtuoso Abdullah Shafiq playing poorly.
Basit Ali said that if I was in the dressing room, I would have asked Abdullah Shafiq to pack his bag and leave. His shot was responsible for Pakistan's defeat. If you give away your wicket after scoring 37 runs by hitting this shot, then what can be worse than this. Shan Masood should punish Shafiq. This is Pakistan's team, not your local team. They played with the wrong combination.
