After one more Test loss for Pakistan, what is on the plate for leader Shan Masood? Check his captaincy record and see what we can anticipate
Pakistan batter Shan Masood replaced Babar Azam as the Test captain, but things haven’t gone well for him so far. Under his leadership, the Pakistan Test team has struggled. Recently, they lost a Test against England in Multan, and now Pakistan’s wait for a home Test win has extended to 1,331 days. Shan Masood became the captain after the 2023 ODI World Cup, where Babar Azam stepped down as skipper from all formats. Soon after taking charge, Shan led the team to Australia, where they saw a 3-0 defeat. Also then became the first Pakistan captain to lose a Test series against Bangladesh by 2-0. The recent loss against England seems like the last nail in the coffin for him. It will be interesting to see how things go for him and Pakistan camp. Check the captaincy report card of the current Pakistan Test captain.
