"Ye Shan Masood kya sirf angrezi bolne ki vajah se team me hai" - Fans react as captain depart for 11 off 18 balls in PAK vs ENG 2nd Test

Pakistan captain Shan Masood once again failed to deliver with the bat in the second Test against England in Multan on Day 3 (Thursday, October 17). The left-handed batter departed for just 11 runs off 18 balls to leave the hosts in a spot of bother at 43/3 in the second innings.

In 2024, Masood has managed 321 runs in five Tests at an average of 32.1, including a solitary century and lone half-century.

Fans on X trolled Masood for his three consecutive failures after his ton. One user wrote sarcastically:

"Shan Masood ko kaptaan hi rakhna wrna drop ho Jaye ga team sa (Keep Shan Masood as captain otherwise he will be dropped from the team)."

Another user wrote:

"Ye Shan Masood kya sirf angrezi bolne ki vajah se team me hai??? (Is Shan Masood in the team just because he speaks English?)"

A third user added:

"Pakistan have a good lead at the moment but still need a good innings. Shan Masood should have played responsibly."
