If Shan Masood steps down, who can be the next Test captain of Pakistan?

[Double Trouble]

It’s time Shan calls it a day as test captain he doesn’t justify his spot.

Next test is in November so why not try Saud as captain or Riz.

 

[Xoib]

Anyone is better then Shan I never thought I will see a captain worse then Babar but Shan bhai did not disappoint and his vision is to turn Pakistan in to Bangladesh circa 2000-2010

 

[Xoib]

The only captaincy he knows is get a raging turner and put Sajid and Noman from both ends god forbid if he has to use his skills to pick 20 wickets good thing is opposition has decoded Pakistan tactics already trust me we are not winning another home series with him in charge and if these tactics are continued

Pakistan Test team in complete crisis, more than where Eng standed in 1999. New leadership required with players having determination to play Test cricket specially the fast bowlers.

Shan Masood has no Long term value and players like Imam Saim and Shafiq should be given preference.

Saim
Imam
Shafiq
Babar
Saud
Rizwan
Agha
Jamal
Noman
Khurram
Abbas
---------------
A balanced side it is ,

 

[BouncerGuy]

This IF should now turn into reality... SHAN MASOOD SHOULD NOT BE CAPTAIN ANYMORE

Make Saud captain.

I would keep Abbas out also and if Naseem and Shaheen are not interested in red ball keep them away and trust domestic performers there are couple of good potential pacers this year like Arshaullah and Awais Anwar induct them along with Khurram but atleast make balanced test pitches don’t go from one extreme to the other

Shan is the best captain we’ve had since Misbah for our test side. Let him have a long run.

What makes you say that??

 

[shaz619]

Just make Rizwan captain and get it over with, wont be long before that bubble bursts.

Business stuff? What business?

The launching business

Attacking captaincy, been batting well himself, series in Australia - his field placements were great.

Only in aus his captaincy was great. After that he's consistently let sides recover from collapsed positions due to rubbish field settings.

As for batting, this part i agree with. He's aggressive.

What matters to me is that he is the antithesis of a selfish batter. We have finally started winnin with him in charge even if it is just starting. He doesn’t really have a world class group of players to use anyway so I don’t necessarily blame him.

People want Rizwan to replace him but the reality is, Rizwan and the team was almost entirely carried by Saim Ayub in Australia and South Africa. We had no chance of winning otherwise so don’t let it cloud your judgement that we win because of amazing captaincy.

Bhai? When did I ever say rizwan?

Infact when have I supported rizzu? In our very first interaction you called me a rizwan hater lol .

I'm more in favour of saud becoming test captain. He's the best batsmen in the team and wouldn't be a bad choice. But I can understand why theirs hesitation cause he was rubbish when captaining dolphins.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Naturally has to be Rizwan. He’s the only batter in the Pakistan test team at the moment whose place seems more secure. His performances are ok if not great and is already leading white ball teams.

I said “people”. Not you. That is the only potential replacement in the eyes of people.

 

[Jazx]

Only choice is Rizwan, other contenders are either not matured enough or they are struggling to have a permanent fixture in squad.

 

[riddu]

rizwan is the only man with brains ... in the current team

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Saud Shakeel is a wise option

 

[Xoib]

His press conferences are the worst the way he defends his and his team mediocrity is so demoralising to watch it like his team has a right to be rubbish and the fans have to accept rubbish wether they like it or not

 

[chinaman00]

Maybe Pakistan doesn’t need a captain. How about we take break to recover from the disaster Shan Masood and this team has been? As fans, can we get a cooling period before we return to the dark age of Pakistan cricket?
