NEW DELHI: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi expressed frustration over the lack of quality backup players following Pakistan's 10-wicket loss to Bangladesh in the first Test. This defeat, which occurred at Rawalpindi, marked Bangladesh's first-ever Test victory against Pakistan in 14 attempts and underscored Pakistan's ongoing difficulties in the longer format.
"It was a very disappointing loss," Naqvi said on Monday. The defeat happened at a ground where Pakistan has not won a Test since December 2021 against South Africa. Since then, the team has faced five losses and four draws in home Tests, raising concerns about their performance.
