After the humiliating defeat against Bangladesh, the Pakistan team has come under the target of its fans. Many former players have also criticized the team fiercely. Let us tell you, this is the first time in the history of cricket that the Pakistan team has lost a Test match against Bangladesh. After this big defeat, Shan Masood's captaincy is also coming under question. Pakistani fans are raising their voice to take away the captaincy from Shan Masood. Let us tell you, Shan Masood was made the captain of the Test team after Babar Azam, when he left the captaincy after the ODI World Cup 2023.

Questions raised on the captaincy of Shan Masood

The last few months have been very bad for Shan Masood. Pakistani fans are not liking Shan Masood's performance as captain. Actually, Shan Masood has led the Pakistan team in 4 Test matches so far and his team has faced defeat in all these matches. Out of which he has played 1 match at home and 3 matches in Australia. Let us tell you, changing the captain in Pakistan is not a big deal. In the recent past, many big changes were seen in Pakistan cricket. Shaheen Afridi was removed from the captaincy of T20 after a bad series.

Who can replace Shan Masood?

If captaincy is taken away from Shan Masood, then many players are big contenders to take over this responsibility. Saud Shakeel's name is at the top of this list. 28-year-old Saud Shakeel has played only 11 Test matches for Pakistan so far. But in this short career, he is the vice-captain of the Pakistan Test team. In such a situation, he can be a big contender for captaincy in the coming times. Saud Shakeel also has captaincy experience in domestic cricket and recently also captained the Pakistan Shaheen team. He is also becoming very successful as a batsman.

Mohammad Rizwan is a big contender

Mohammad Rizwan is one of the biggest contenders to become the captain. There has been a demand to make him the captain of the Test team many times, but he has not been tried yet. He also has a lot of experience in Test cricket and has also been captaining in domestic cricket. Apart from this, Babar Azam can also be given the command again. Actually, Babar had announced to leave the captaincy from all formats, but he became the captain of the white ball again before the T20 World Cup. In such a situation, if he returns to the Test format as well, then it will not be a surprising news.
