Pakistan Cricketer Compares Team To 'Mandir Ka Ghanta' As Team Slumps To New Low

Pakistan's last Test win came in February 2021.

It's been some struggle for Pakistan especially in Test cricket. Following their 0-2 defeat to Bangladesh at home, Pakistan became the first team to lose a Test after scoring over 500 runs in the first innings against England in Multan. Their last win in the game's longest format dates back to February 2021 which came against South Africa on their home soil in Rawalpindi.

Their winless run has now extended to 10 Test matches as Pakistan lost to England by 47 runs in the first of the two Tests. After Pakistan's defeat, batter Ahmed Shehzad criticised the Shan Masood-led team with an angry 'Mandir Ka Ghanta' rant.

"Please fear god. Koi bhi aata hai aur aapko mandir ke ghante ki tarah baja deta hai. First Bangladesh came and you guys made a shameful history by losing to Bangladesh for the first time. You got whitewashed. Now against England, you've put up another shameless performance," Shehzad said on his YouTube channel.

There Is No Winning Attitude In Pakistan Players: Ahmed Shehzad

The right-handed batter questioned the character of the Pakistan players, who he feels are not doing enough at the moment.

"There is no winning attitude in this team. The pitch might be flat but no one was putting an effort. You sledge sometimes, try to bowl bouncers but everyone looked clueless. The pace of the bowlers has gone down to 125-130 kmph," he said.

"These players don't have any accountability. They know that there place in the team is not under any kind of threat. PCB doesn't want to give opportunities to the youngsters. The previous management also did the same," Shehzad, who last donned Pakistan colours in 2019, said.

Notably, Shan Masood has now lost each of his first six Test matches as captain. While he did respond to criticism over his form with the bat with a century, questions over his leadership accumen are now beginning to be raised in louder voices as the Men in Green's struggle seem nowhere close to end.
