Why we are not doing well in Test cricket I will sit down with the board and discuss this. As far as the captaincy is concerned, it is for the board to decide, Masood said.I can only offer my sincere apologiesMasood also issued a direct apology to supporters, acknowledging the disappointment of another failed campaign but insisting Pakistan must respond with clear thinking rather than emotion.I can understand the emotions of the people with the result and I can only offer my sincere apologies for the loss, but we cant look at things emotionally and we have to find a way to do well in Test matches, he said.The 36-year-old stressed that despite the scoreline, Pakistan had opportunities in both matches and needed to reflect on where they let them slip.Its never good to lose games. In both matches we had significant chances, but we need to reflect on where we lost the game in batting, bowling and fielding if we want to move forward as a side.Masood also praised the surfaces prepared for the series, calling them ideal Test wickets.The pitches were very good Test tracks. They were good for batting and had something in them for the spinners and also pace and movement, he added.Bangladesh create history againBangladeshs win marked their first home Test series victory over Pakistan and followed their 2-0 triumph in Pakistan in 2024, making it a second successive sweep against their Asian rivals.Spinner Taijul Islam starred with six wickets in the second innings, bowling Pakistan out for 328 while defending a target of 437.
