The cricketing world may be going ga ga over Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips hundreds and Virat Kohli’s superb century in a losing cause, but former Pakistan cricketers Basit Ali and Kamran Akmal blamed the tactical moves by skipper Shubman Gill and head coach Gautam Gambhir for India’s first-ever home ODI series defeat to New Zealand. Basit, in fact, described Gill’s calls as akin to what he has seen with his own national team, remarking: “Yeh to Shan Masood wali captaincy ki hai Gill ne.”The middle-order batsman of the 1990s was referring to the Indian skipper’s decision to bring on medium pacer Nitish Kumar Reddy before his spin trump card Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja. Former wicketkeeper-batter Akmal agreed. “A captain has to control the game. When you have got early wickets, you need to bring your specialist bowlers in the attack. If they had got another wicket at that stage, New Zealand wouldn’t have scored more than 225-250 runs,” he said. “Gill’s mind doesn’t seem to be working in captaincy.” The two were appearing …

Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood was turning out for Sui National Gas Pipeline Limited (SNGPL) team in the four-day President’s Trophy against the Pakistan Television (PTV) team, and needing to chase a paltry target of 40.

Pakistan Skipper Shan Masood Opens Up On Controversial Dismissal vs South Africa In 2nd Test

Published by Webster

Pakistan skipper Shan Masood believes the ball-tracking depicted by the Hawkeye didn’t paint the correct picture which led to his dismissal in the second innings of the final Test of the series against South Africa, reported ESPNCricinfo. Masood, batting at 145, was trapped in front of the stumps by debutant Kwena Maphaka. The on-field umpire, Nitin Menon, initially turned down the appeals which led to South Africa taking the decision upstairs by exercising the option of DRS. During the review, the trajectory depicted that the ball would have gone to crash into the stumps, leading to the overturning of the on-field decision. After Pakistan’s series whitewash, Masood felt that the ball-tracking failure was at fault which led to his dismissal, and said as quoted from ESPNcricinfo, “It’s simple. It was an outswinger. If you see the ball that I was beaten by, it jagged away a long way. I was beaten on the outside edge, and it was shown as an inswinger. I was baffled by that to be very honest.” Masood, who …
