In the latest video over the web, Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi is being spotted removing the hand of skipper Shan Masood from his shoulder, thus implicating a sense of tension in the Pakistan dressing room.

Pakistan, who had their eyes set on a probable early exit from the WTC for the third time in a row, faced a huge backlash as they entered the series of home red-ball matches. Bangladesh defeated the Pakistan team for the first time in the longest format of the game and what adds fuel to the fire is it is on Pakistan soil.
In the viral video, it was clearly indicated that something was not right in the dressing room, especially with the earlier video of Shan Masood engaging in a tense banter with newly appointed head coach Jason Gillespie.
An account of Bangladesh’s historic win
Pakistan, earlier, declared their first innings on 448 after their early struggle was balanced by Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan’s stunning 141 and 171*, respectively. However, Masood gathered early criticism as he called out the batters when Rizwan was batting at 171 and could have scored a stunning double hundred.
However, it was Bangladesh batters, led from the front by Mushfiqur Rahim’s 191, that they went past a total of 565. The Bangladesh spin attack then wreaked havoc as Shakib and Mehidy Hasan Miraz shared 7 wickets between each other, and Pakistan faced the toil of not having picked a single specialist spinner.
Bangladesh’s openers chased down the score of 30 runs within 7 overs and record a 10-wicket win over Pakistan.
