'Tumhe Aata he Nahi Hai...': Pakistan Cricketer Mocks Shan Masood And Co, Praises Bangladesh For Dominant Show

Pakistan players are copping severe criticism from their current and former players following a humiliating defeat at home to Bangladesh. For the first time in their history, Pakistan have lost a Test series to Bangladesh with the tourists dominating them with the bat and the ball. The 0-2 defeat will rankle Pakistan for some time to come given they lost both the Tests despite being in control of the games at different stages.

The likes of Javed Miandad, Inzamam-ul-Haq have questioned the quality of Pakistan batters while Ahmed Shehzad poked fun at the players and said Bangladesh showed the hosts what it takes to play Test cricket.

“Bangladesh whitewashed Pakistan in their own backyard,” Shehzad said in a video on his YouTube channel. “You guys just cannot compete. The situation in Bangladesh wasn’t ideal (political unrest and violence) and the team even trained for the series in Pakistan. They dominated throughout be it their batting or bowling. They taught Pakistan the grit that’s needed to play Test cricket. Their bowlers taught Pakistan what discipline is.”

Shehzad said on a pitch where Pakistan batters struggled for runs, Bangladesh made it appear a flat track. “We were focusing on the pitch. On the same track when Bangladesh were batting it appeared flat but our batters were struggling,” he said.

“I am sure this win will be motivating for the Bangladesh fans given what’s happening in their country. Bangladesh players did what they could for their own country and fans,” he added.

With this performance, Bangladesh have jumped to the fourth spot on the ICC World Test Championship points table while Pakistan have slipped to the 9th spot.

Shehzad also expressed his concern over how Pakistan batters failed to deal with pace and movement. “If you can’t handle a bit of pace and movement even at home then the future is not very bright for us,” he said.

As per reports, Pakistan Test coach Jason Gillispie and his white-ball counterpart Gary Kirsten have advised the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and selectors to not press the panic button as it will further dent the confidence of the players.
