"Can't Just Throw Them In Every Game": Shan Masood's Blunt Take On Dropping Shaheen, Naseem

Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood has backed the decision to drop the star pace duo of Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah for the second game of the two-match series. Pakistan endured a series whitewash against Bangladesh on Tuesday in Rawalpindi.

Pakistan cricket team is not looking in great shape. After losing the first Test against Bangladesh, Pakistan is not good touch in the second Test too. Pakistan head coach Jason Gillespie acknowledged that Bangladesh were favourites.

"We know what can happen, but we took six for 26 in the first innings so we know that we can have an impact with the ball."

Pakistan cricket team fast bowler Mohammad Amir was left fuming during the Caribbean Super League after compatriot Imad Wasim's lackluster fielding effort.

It was a short-pitched delivery from Amir and the batter - Quinton De Kock - guided it comfortably towards the third-man boundary. Imad was fielding at deep backward point and he was the one running towards the ball to save the four. However, he eased up and kept jogging as the ball went for a four leaving Amir agitated. Amir was heard shouting at Imad to run and his fielding position was changed on the next ball.
