**Multan, Pakistan**: Pakistan’s Test captain, Shan Masood, was subjected to a rude question during a press conference ahead of the upcoming Test series against England. The incident, which has gone viral on social media, has sparked outrage and fueled discussions about the respect and decorum of sports journalism.
During the conference, a journalist, in a harsh tone, questioned Masood about his alleged willingness to accept the captaincy if offered by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The journalist’s remarks insinuated that Masood should accept responsibility for past defeats and move on. Masood, visibly taken aback by the question, remained silent and did not respond.
This incident comes at a critical time for the Pakistani team, who are facing immense pressure to perform well against England. The team was recently defeated by Bangladesh in a two-match Test series at home, leaving fans disappointed. The upcoming series against England is crucial for Pakistan’s Test ranking, and the team is determined to prove their worth.
The three-match Test series between Pakistan and England is set to begin on 7th October in Multan. The second match will also be played in Multan from 15th to 19th October, followed by the final match in Rawalpindi on 24th October.
This incident highlights the importance of respectful and professional conduct in sports journalism. It also raises questions about the pressure and scrutiny faced by sportspersons, particularly captains, who are often held accountable for their team’s performance.
