Pakistan's cricket team is undergoing significant changes following a 104-run loss to Bangladesh in the first Test held in Dhaka. Shan Masood's captaincy has come under fire after the team lost 11 of their last 15 matches since he took charge in December 2023. In light of this, there are strong indications that Babar Azam, who missed the first Test due to a knee injury, may be reinstated as Test captain for the remaining matches of the World Test Championship cycle. The team has seven more Tests scheduled this year, and influential figures within the Pakistan Cricket Board are advocating for Babar's return to leadership. If he performs well in the upcoming second Test, he is seen as a strong candidate for captaincy. Masood, disappointed by the team's performance, is contemplating a permanent position with the Pakistan Cricket Board, having previously declined an offer for the Director of International Cricket and Player Affairs role to focus on the Test Championship.
