PAK Vs BAN 1st Test: Shan Masood Explains The Decision To Opt For All-pace Attack In Rawalpindi
Shaheen Shah Afridi: Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood has backed the team's decision to opt for an all-pace attack against Bangladesh in the first Test here and explained that the move was made after analyzing the results of domestic games played on the venue.
Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah will lead Pakistan's bowling attack with Khurram Shahzad and Mohammad Ali to complete the pace quartet. All-rounder Salman Ali Agha is the sole spin-bowling option in the playing 11 for the opening Test.
“In Rawalpindi, whenever we have played domestic cricket, the conditions have favoured the seamers and the batters. Spin-bowling hasn’t been such a big threat. So, we want to take what we do in domestic cricket forward rather than applying something new, which we don’t normally get in Rawalpindi,” Masood said in the pre-match press conference on Tuesday.
