Former Pakistan Test captain Ramiz Raja criticises the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for removing Shan Masood as Test captain ahead of the team’s upcoming tours of the West Indies and England. In his comments, Raja argues that Masood is being held responsible for performance outcomes despite the quality of the squad available to him. He questions the logic of making the captain solely accountable when the wider Test team is limited in strength, describing the players as an “ordinary” group. Raja also says the PCB’s approach amounts to shifting blame to the captain rather than addressing broader team issues. Multiple reports note that Raja reacts to the PCB’s decision to reinstate Babar Azam as Test captain, following Masood’s sacking. The outlets also report that Raja indicates he would take formal action, stating that he would submit a written protest over the decision. Overall, the coverage reflects Raja’s position that coaching and player selection factors matter as much as, or more than, the captain’s role when evaluating Test results.
