After Babar Azam, Shan Masood can also lose the captaincy of the Pakistani Test team, this player is ahead in the race

The exercise to remove the captain has started once again in the Pakistan cricket team. If the reports of Pakistani media are to be believed, Shan Masood, who became the Test captain after Babar Azam, is also going to lose this post now. According to the report of the Pakistani channel Express News, Shan Masood can be removed from the Test captaincy and Mohammad Rizwan can become the Test captain in his place. The Pakistani team has not won a single Test under the captaincy of Shan Masood. They have lost all five Tests so far. After losing the Test series in Australia, the Pakistani team led by Shan Masood also lost the Test series to Bangladesh at home. Bangladesh clean swept Pakistan 2-0.

There are reports that PCB is very upset with Pakistan's defeat against Bangladesh and hence it has now decided to make Mohammad Rizwan the captain. By the way, Mohammad Rizwan can become the captain of Pakistan not only in Tests but also in ODI and T20 formats. Under the captaincy of Babar Azam, the Pakistani team played in the T20 World Cup where it had to face defeat from America and was eliminated from the tournament in the first round. Now there is talk of making Rizwan the captain of all three formats.

Talking about Mohammad Rizwan, he is the best performer in all three formats of the current Pakistani team. This 32-year-old player has scored 1910 runs in 52 innings in Tests at an average of 44.41. He also has 2088 runs in ODIs at an average of over 40. His batting average in T20 is over 48 and he has scored 3313 runs.

It is clear that Mohammad Rizwan is playing well in all three formats, so his becoming the captain seems almost certain. On the other hand, the form of Babar Azam, Shan Masood, and Shaheen Afridi has been very bad in the last year, so they may have to bear the brunt of it. Shan Masood may also be out of the Test team, whose average in this format is less than 30. Now it remains to be seen what decision the PCB takes. Pakistan players will currently play in the Champions ODI Cup, after which this team has to play a three-match Test series against England at home.
