All is not well in the Pakistan cricket team ahead of the second Test against Bangladesh. According to reports, captain Shan Masood and pacer Shaheen Afridi were involved in a heated altercation after the team suffered an embarrassing defeat in the first Test against Bangladesh. Chasing 268, Pakistan failed to survive two sessions and were bowled out for 168, suffering their third consecutive defeat against Bangladesh. After the loss, captain Shan Masood pinned the blame on the pacers, inviting a sharp response from Shaheen Afridi, who asked Shan to look at his own performance with the bat. Shan Masood didn't have a great outing in the match and scored nine and two in the two innings, respectively. “A disgruntled Shan blamed the lack of speed from the pace attack, pointing a finger at Shaheen, whose average speed was 132 kph, much below the pace of Bangladesh's Nahid Rana, who bowled around 145 kph on average,” Telecom Asia Sport quoted a source as saying. “To this Shaheen hit back by blaming the poor batting that failed to get a first innings lead and told the skipper to mind his own performance with the bat,” the report added. To add insult to injury, Pakistan were also docked WTC points due to a slow over rate, along with the players facing a fine of 40 percent match fee. “The blame for the slow over rate squarely lies on skipper Shan as he was constantly informed by the team analyst of the slow over rate session by session but the captain and bowlers failed to control that. It is a massive blow to Pakistan's WTC (World Test Championship) chances,” told the source to the website. “Rizwan was set on 59, and Pakistan was looking set to get a first innings lead before Rizwan played a rash shot and got out. The coaching staff fell short of scolding the senior player but told him to realise his responsibility,” said sources. Pakistan collapsed from 5-349 to 368 all-out, conceding a 27-run lead. There were calls to drop Rizwan from the XI but the management decided against it.
