Gillespie discusses the choice to keep Shaheen and Naseem out of the second test.

Bangladesh shocked Pakistan 2-0 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.   The decision to keep pacers Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah out of the second Test against Bangladesh, which the hosts lost by six wickets, has been discussed by Pakistan's senior red-ball coach, Jason Gillespie.  At the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Pakistan suffered their first series loss against the Asian team, losing 2-0. Pakistan benched Shaheen and Naseem and started three pacers, Mir Hamza, Khurram Shahzad, and Mohammad Ali.  "We believed that the assault we launched into the park would be effective.

"Babar Azam exhibited stubbornness and a lack of adaptability": Former head selector for Pakistan

Mohammad Wasim, a former chief selector for Pakistan, has shared his insights on Babar Azam. He claimed that Babar was incredibly obstinate and unreceptive to change. Making him see the benefits of the adjustments was excruciating. He was really obstinate, and I went above and above what was appropriate to get him to support several calls. He stated on Samaa TV that he was not prepared to accept reforms. The conflicts between the players and the team administration were brought to light by Wasim's remarks. Babar's status as the white-ball captain is in doubt following Pakistan's elimination from the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in the group round. Wasim has accused Imad Wasim of concealing a knee ailment in the USA and the West Indies during the global competition.  "Imad has been concealing a knee problem for years. We frequently discuss Azam Khan's level of fitness, but Imad has the same issue. For the same reason, he was dropped from the side, and I also let him g...
