Veteran Ahmed Shehzad Goes Unhinged on PCB After Pakistan's 10-wicket Loss to Bangladesh

Ahmed Shehzad was distraught with Pakistan's performance after Bangladesh won the match by ten wickets and handed the Men in Green their first-ever 10-wicket loss at home. Shehzad expressed his frustration in a video, saying that the team is heading towards darkness and blamed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for the horrendous situation of the team.

“I haven’t seen Pakistan go this low in my life. Batting, bowling and fielding are a discussion for another day. But this is a new low in Pakistan cricket. It will be very tough for them to recover from this defeat. They haven’t recovered from the defeat against Afghanistan until today. I told you earlier that if you make short-term decisions, it will hamper your cricket. Pakistan cricket is already towards darkness, but we did not expect to lose against Bangladesh.

“Players are not at fault. PCB is at fault because players never asked to be picked forcefully. It’s you who are making them play constantly. It’s you who are not letting domestic cricketers come along. You admit that there are not enough players in domestic cricket. If this is the case, what have you made?” Ahmad Shehzad said in a video on 'X', formerly known as Twitter.

While all that happened under Babar Azam's captaincy, Shan Masood's leadership could not help them bounce back either.
