Shan Masood and Jason Gillespie

The first Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Rawalpindi has been marred by internal tensions within the Pakistan team, highlighted by a heated exchange between captain Shan Masood and head coach Jason Gillespie. This confrontation, which occurred during Bangladesh's batting innings, is believed to have stemmed from frustrations over the team's performance, particularly after Bangladesh amassed 565 runs in response to Pakistan's 448. Masood's visible anger was captured in a viral video, raising concerns about team dynamics as they struggle in the match. With Pakistan trailing by 94 runs at stumps on Day 4 and facing a potential defeat, the pressure mounts on Masood and Gillespie, both of whom are navigating challenging starts to their respective roles. Bangladesh, historically underperforming against Pakistan in Tests, is in a strong position to secure their first-ever Test win over the hosts. The final day of the match is crucial for both teams, with Pakistan needing to stabilize their innings to avoid embarrassment at home.
