'Haven't played well...,' Pakistan Test coach Jason Gillespie on skipper Shan Masood post series vs Bangladesh
Underfire captain Shan Masood after Pakistan's humiliating loss vs Bangladesh
Pakistan Test coach Jason Gillespie thinks that skipper Shan Masood is not at fault for losing 0-2 in the home Test series against Bangladesh. Gillespie made the comments after the end ofsecond Rawalpindi Test and stressed that the players are good enough.
"Shan, I feel, has led the side very well. We just haven't played well as a team and that's the reality. We need to sharpen up on certain areas and we will sharpen up. I want to back and believe in these players, they are good enough," he had said.
Pakistan Test skipper Masood's position is under scrutiny after successive whitewash against Australia in Australia and against Bangladesh at home. Masood, however, isn't too worried about it.
"I am not worried for my job security. I took this job to make the changes we believe will help this team. If I believe this team can go in a certain direction, even if my personal failure takes Pakistan to that direction, I will be content. However much time I get, I'll be grateful for and do my best," he had said.
The Pak skipper although acknowledged that need of more red-ball exposure after losing two Test series.

"Bangladesh have two players who have played 70-90 Tests (Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahman), and Litton [Das] and Mehidy [Hasan Miraz] have played close to 40. We need the same level of red-ball exposure. Test cricket is the ultimate format of the game. You need experience. It's obvious we need more Test and red-ball cricket," he added.
Pakistan's next Test assignment is a home Test series against England. They are scheduled to play three Tests against the English side out of which one could be shifted out of the country due to ongoing revamp work at one of the venues.
