Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood was frustrated and had a heated exchange with head coach Jason Gillespie during first Test against Bangladesh at Rawalpindi. Masood was seen talking to Gillespie in the dressing room during the Bangladesh’s first innings.
Bangladesh batters dominated the rival bowlers, leading to verbal slugfest between Pakistan’s captain and head coach.
The ongoing Test series is Gillespie’s first assignment as Pakistan’s head coach in red-ball cricket.
After Pakistan posted 448/6 in their first innings, Bangladesh accumulated 565, taking a lead of 117.
Bangladesh have never won a Test against Pakistan, losing 12 of the 13 red-ball games. At a press conference, Mehidy Hasan spoke about Bangladesh’s gameplan.
“If our bowlers bowl well on Day 5, we have a chance. However, we are not thinking too far ahead. We have taken a good lead and we need to take early wickets,” he said.
