Pakistan’s opening batter Abdullah Fazal was already ruled out of the ongoing West Indies tour as well as the England tour due to a severe back injury. So, they couldn’t afford another loss, as they are set to face England in the crucial three-match Test series next month. Amid this, Mohammad Amir questions Babar Azam's appointment as Pakistan Test captain.
The Pakistan National Cricket Team has already added Abdullah Shafique and Saud Shakeel to their Test squad ahead of the second match against the West Indies and England tour, but there is still no confirmation on whether either of them will play in Port of Spain.
Abdullah Shafique and Saud Shakeel? Sarfaraz Ahmed refuses to share plans
Well, the Test head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed has made it clear that no final decision has been taken yet on whether Abdullah Shafique or Saud Shakeel would replace Masood and said that the team management will decide the playing XI before the match.
Sarfaraz Ahmed said at the press conference, “We will decide before the next match. You will get to know at the toss.”
Sarfaraz said, “Shan Masood scored a brilliant century in the first innings, but he suffered an injury while batting. That cost us a little in the second innings, as he was unable to bat in his usual position. As for the pitch, I think it was an excellent Test match wicket.
Shan Masood's brave century ends in heartbreak after finger fracture
Masood suffered a finger fracture after being hit on the hand by a sharp delivery from West Indies fast bowler Jayden Seales during the first Test.
The injury forced him to bat lower down the order in the second innings, where he managed just 3 runs off 15 balls as Pakistan were bowled out for 120 while chasing a target of 211.
