Pakistan vs Bangladesh two-match Test series has started under the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25. The first Test match of the series is being played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The start of the match was delayed due to rain, after which Bangladesh captain Nazmul Shanto won the toss and decided to bowl first. Pakistan would not have expected such a start on home ground. Pakistan had lost three wickets for 16 runs at one time, in which a lot of debate started about the wicket of captain Shan Masood. However, Sam Ayub and Saud Shakeel together have taken over the Pakistani innings. A controversy has erupted over the ball on which Shan Masood was given out. Pakistan Cricket has shared the video of Shan Masood’s wicket and asked people whether he was out or not out?
Pakistan’s score had reached just 14 runs and Shariful Islam was bowling. Shan could not read his incoming delivery and it beat the Pakistani captain and landed in the gloves of wicketkeeper Litton Das.
After this, the entire Bangladesh team made a strong appeal. The field umpire declared Shan Masood not out. After this, the Bangladeshi captain took a review and the decision reached the TV umpire. Michael Gough is the third umpire in this test match. After watching the replay, he asked the field umpire to change his decision and declared Shan out.
After watching the replay very carefully, it seems that the ball had touched the pad and not the bat and then went to Litton Das. Well, accepting the decision of the third umpire, Shan Masood had to leave the field, but he looked a bit upset about this even in the dressing room. Pakistan did not have a good start at all, Abdullah Shafiq was out after scoring two runs while Shan Masood was out after scoring six runs. Former captain Babar Azam was out without even opening his account.
