LAHORE: Following Pakistan’s test series defeat against Bangladesh, cricket authorities have decided to replace Shan Masood as the national team’s test captain.

The national team’s upcoming assignment is a two-match Test series against the West Indies, scheduled to begin on July 25.
The announcement regarding the new captain is expected shortly, as management reviews leadership candidates ahead of the July tour.
This series outcome marked a historic low for the national side, registering an unprecedented second consecutive home clean sweep against the same opponent.
