Ahmed Shehzad has lashed out at Pakistan captain Shan Masood following the team’s 10-wicket defeat to Bangladesh in the Test series
opener at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. He added how Masood expressed his displeasure after being given out in the first innings as well. Masood scored only six runs before being dismissed caught behind off Shoriful Islam’s bowling and was adjudged not out by the on-field umpire. However, Bangladesh opted for the DRS and the decision was overturned as well.

The southpaw was seen upset with the call and was even seen discussing it with the team’s support staff in the dressing room as well. The
dismissal sparked a controversy, given that the spike on the UltraEdge appeared to have come after the ball had passed the bat as well.

Ahmed Shehzad took a dig at him, and said in a video shared on his X account: “You cannot show dissent in this manner. You are still doing the same things. Whenever you get out, you come back and say that you were not out. Are you playing gully cricket? You have been doing this since U19. You are infamous for not accepting that you are out. What should we do then? Only bowled should be considered for you?”

However, Shan Masood failed to make amends in the second innings, losing his wicket after scoring 14 runs. Pakistan were bundled out for just 146 runs in the innings.

“Your own performance is nothing. Who is going to listen to you? When I saw your stats, you just have three half-centuries since 2020, and you are the captain of the Pakistan team. All of you guys have fooled the Pakistani public. You are just taking your turns. Please show some maturity, you are no longer the Shan Masood from U19 or U16,” he concluded.
