Masood stressed the importance of working towards improving Pakistani cricket during Tuesday’s post-match press conference held here.
“We express regret to the country. Masood stated, “Our shared objective should be to work toward improving Pakistani cricket.
“In the Test format, we need more seasoned players. I’m really appreciative of the selectors’ and our shared democratic perspective on the playing XIs and selectors.
Before conceding that the national players must improve their fitness to perform well in the game’s longest format, Shan Masood emphasized Bangladesh’s advantages that helped them achieve their historic triumph.
“We ought to show respect to those who disagree with us,” I believe. Shan stated, “Every opposition has its unique attributes. In both Test matches, Bangladesh’s discipline outperformed ours.
We must examine our errors, and there were many of them in this series.
“I believe we need to work on our physical and mental fitness, as test cricket demands both of those things.”
In the first Test, Shan Masood revealed that the decision to go with an all-pace attack was decided after taking the pacers’ level of fitness into account.
We believed that using three pacers would put them under excessive strain; therefore, we decided to play four pacers in the first test owing to fitness concerns. Sadly, we lost a pacer in every innings of the second Test when we decided to use three pacers.
