Shan Masood said that fitness problem has been seen in test cricket, we have played cricket after ten months, there is more pressure on us in the second innings, we lost the toss in both the test matches, we finished fourth and fifth in the test. Have to show better game during the day too.
He said that there should not be too many breaks in red ball cricket, we have to play more red ball cricket. Players have to play red ball cricket in domestic. It is not possible to play Test cricket only by playing T20 cricket.
