Pakistan’s Test captain, Shan Masood, revealed the team’s strategy for the first Test against Bangladesh, starting August 21 in Rawalpindi. The squad has opted for a four-man pace attack, aligning with expected conditions at the venue.
During a pre-match press conference on Tuesday, Shan explained the logic behind this selection. He noted that Rawalpindi’s conditions historically favour seamers and batters, with spin playing a lesser role.
“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,” said Shan.
