Asked sharp question to Pakistani captain
When Pakistani team captain Shan Masood came to the press conference after losing the second test match against West Indies, he got angry at that time. When he was asked whether he himself would step down from the captaincy of the team or the PCB would have to remove him? The Pakistan captain ignored this question and asked to ask the next question but the journalist who had asked this question asked him to answer it first. Masood said that you can have your own thinking and I respect it but there is a sense of disrespect in your question. You should not insult the players, me or anyone else. We all play for Pakistan and get results but no one will tolerate such insult. You have to understand this.
Pakistan has won only 3 tests under the captaincy of Masood.
Shan Masood further said that the right to decide rests with the Pakistan Cricket Board and whatever decisions have been taken by the board. He has always been accepted by the players. You have to understand and appreciate that we are trying to do something different and you should figure it out. We are trying to do something and we have won three out of the last four Tests at home. Under the captaincy of Masood, Pakistan has so far played 12 test matches, out of which it has won only three and lost 9 matches.
Shan Masood told his mistakes
Shan Masood admitted that his bowlers failed to bowl out West Indies early after taking seven wickets for 38 runs and eight wickets for 64 runs on the first day of the match. We have been facing the problem of not being able to get the lower order out early for some time now and we have to find a way to deal with that because in Tests you have to take the opportunities you get as a team.
