 Younis Khan takes indirect jibe at Shan Masood

NEW DELHI: Pakistan continue to endure criticism from former cricketers following their heavy defeat to England in the first Test in Multan. Former Pakistan captain Younis Khan has now launched scathing attack on Test skipper Shan Masood, though he did not mention him by name.
At an event in Pakistan, Younis criticized Masood's captaincy, stating that he lacks the essential qualities of a leader and was given the role primarily due to his communication skills.

"There are no qualities to lead a team in an individual, neither he is a leader material... still he has been given the responsibilities," Younis took an indirect jibe at Shan Masood.
"Just because the people feel that ye hamari sunta hai, achha padha likha hai, ye English, Urdu, Pashto achhi bolta hai toh isko kaptaan bana do (He may not be a good player but if he listens to us, and speaks good English, Urdu and Pashto, so let's make him the captain). Please, get rid of this thinking," he added.

In a recent announcement, the

Pakistan Cricket Board

revealed that former captain Babar Azam has been dropped from the squad for the second and third Tests against England.
The out-of -form batsman will miss the matches in Multan and Rawalpindi after Friday's loss handed Pakistan their sixth consecutive test defeat and left them at the bottom of the World Test Championship standings.
Babar struggled in the first test against England, managing just 35 runs across both innings. He stepped down as captain in all formats following Pakistan's elimination from the 2023 ODI World Cup.
The newly formed selection committee has also rested frontline pace duo of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah for the Tests.
