India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has actually used his compassion to Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood following the group’s frustrating series loss versus Bangladesh. Previously this month, Bangladesh scripted history by beating Pakistan for the very first time ever in a Test series, managing a 2-0 series sweep in Rawalpindi. Following the loss, Shan has actually come under analysis for his management, with previous gamers recommending that the star batter has actually not had the ability to raise the spirits inside the dressing space.
Pakistan sit 8th in the present World Test Championship (WTC) cycle and are yet to win a Test up until now.
Ashwin tossed his weight behind Shan, calling him as an excellent option of captaincy for Pakistan due to his cricketing acumen.
Ashwin feels that handling the dressing space will not be a simple task for Shan, particularly due to Babar Azam, the poster young boy of Pakistan cricket, no longer part of the management group.
“I feel awfully bad for somebody like Shan Masood. Shan Masood is a really clever cricketer. I understand that guy. He speaks a great deal of sense. He can be an actually great captain for Pakistan. Managing a Pakistan group at this point, where someone like Babar Azam is not the captain and he’s the poster kid of Pakistan, it can not be a simple dressing space,” Ashwin stated on his YouTube channel.
Ashwin applauded Bangladesh for their efficiency throughout the Pakistan series.
“Of course, Bangladesh have actually come a long method. I do not take anything far from them. In 2015, when we visited Bangladesh, we understood what an excellent Test side Bangladesh is. They have actually got a great deal of experience in Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehidy Hasan and they have actually likewise got some great young skill,” he included.
Ashwin has actually been rested for the continuous Duleep Trophy, along with leading stars like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and captain Rohit Sharma.
He will now be seen in action later on this month when Bangladesh trip India for a two-match Test series.
