NEW DELHI: Former Pakistan batter Ahmed Shehzad delivered a sharp critique of the national side’s leadership following Pakistan’s 2-1 ODI series defeat to Bangladesh, warning that the team’s standards were declining at an alarming rate.
Pakistan suffered an 11-run defeat in the third and final ODI at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka, handing Bangladesh the series victory. The loss came under the captaincy of Shaheen Shah Afridi, with Mike Hesson serving as head coach.
Reacting to the result, Shehzad criticised the team management for what he described as a failure to address deeper problems following Pakistan’s underwhelming performance at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
