Pakistan Set for Captaincy Shake-Up as Salman Ali Agha Emerges Favourite
Pakistan cricket team is all set to have a captaincy change in the Test format. The team recently suffered a brutal loss to Bangladesh in a two match series, under the captaincy of Shan Masood. Reports indicate that Salman Ali Agha comes as a key contender to lead the team.
The Pakistan cricket team is about to have some serious changes in the coming games. While the team is doing well in the white ball format, they have not been able to do much in the red ball games. Under the captaincy of Shan Masood, the record of Pakistan cricket team has fallen down to a great extent.
Recently, the team went on a tour of Bangladesh for a two match Test series. Noting their previous record against Bangladesh, Pakistan thought to take revenge of the home series loss which they suffered in the previous WTC cycle. But little did they know things would turn out to be bad for them once again.
With Pakistan losing both games in the series, Bangladesh has now won two consecutive test series over them. Looking at the same, the team might be going through a captaincy change in the longest format of the game. Salman Ali Agha is reportedly being seen as a contender to lead the team in this format.
Our Take
Pakistan surely needs some changes in the Test format, as their record under the captaincy of Shan Masood has not gone well. On the other hand, Salman Ali Agha has led the team well in the T20 format, but the captaincy shift from the shortest to the longest format will be a bit challenging. It remains to be seen when the final call for a captaincy change would be taken by the team.
