The new captain of the national Test cricket team, Shaun Masood, has said that he will give a good performance in Australia as this series is a challenge for everyone.
Talking to the media in Lahore, he said that captaincy is a temporary thing, one should try to play good cricket by showing responsibility. “I am ready for the tour of Australia, with the support of the whole team, I will do my best to make the team succeed by presenting a good game on Australian soil.”
Regarding his form, he said that his performance has been good in recent times and he will continue to do so.
In response to a question on whether giving him a tough series as captain will not make him a scapegoat later, he said that he sees this series as an opportunity. “You get a chance to make a difference. Efforts will be made to bring a good result for Pakistan. As far as the captaincy is concerned, it is a temporary thing. As long as you have space, you should make the most of it.’

He said that he wished that Haris Rauf was with him in the tour of Australia. But will try to make the best use of the fast bowlers who are available now. “Babar Azam is our best batsman, we will not disturb his batting position, if the whole team takes responsibility, good results will come.”
On former cricketer Aqib Javed’s statement that Pakistan will be whitewashed, he said that this is his opinion and will listen to him positively.
He said that it is not like this is a new team, Imamul Haq and Abdullah Shafiq have given enough performances for Pakistan. Shaheen, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Sarfaraz Ahmed have given good performances despite the pressure. “There is no one leader in this team, we will try to make every player in the team play as a leader.”
The captain of the national team said that the pitch of the Rawalpindi cricket stadium bounces, the conditions of the wicket are different everywhere, we cannot make Pakistan Australia, there is criticism and it will definitely happen.
Captain Shaan Masood said that there are very talented players in the team and every player is expected to play well. ‘I will take the whole team with me and I expect full cooperation from them as well.’
Shan Masood added that the players have practiced very hard in the training camp.
Former Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam said a few days ago that the new Test captain Shan Masood has the best chance to prove himself during the tour of Australia. He wished Shaan Masood all the best and said that he has a great opportunity to perform in Australia and show his talent.
Shaun Masood said about the final team that he will decide the playing eleven after going to Australia and evaluating the conditions there. “The final decision will be made by looking at the conditions there.”
He said that he will make his strategy after evaluating the opposition. “One thing I want in this team is that we will go there and play our best cricket. Will give them a hard time.
