Michael Vaughan reacts to explosive dressing room clash between Shan Masood, Jason Gillespie

Former England National Cricket Team player Michael Vaughan opened up about the dressing room exchange between Pakistan National Cricket Team skipper Shan Masood and head coach Jason Gillespie. The incident between the duo took place during the first Test against Bangladesh at the Rawalpindi International Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi.

The new era for the Pakistan National Cricket Team started under the leadership of Shan Masood and head coach Jason Gillespie. The duo have been involved quite actively in the team and are making sure they make things right for the team in all departments.

However, they were involved in a heated argument during the first Test against the Bangladesh National Cricket Team. Shan Masood and Jason Gillespie were seen having an animated discussion in the dressing room. It seemed that the skipper of the team was upset with something.

The video of the incident went viral on the internet. Although the exact reason behind this discussion isn't known yet, it was speculated that things are not correct in the Pakistan dressing room. There were even reports that skipper Masood was involved in the fight with Shaheen Afridi.

Since the video of the incident between Jason Gillespie and Masood went viral, there have been a lot of things going around. After the first game, it was reported that Jason Gillespie, along with the skipper, didn't go easy on the fast bowlers after their defeat in the first match.

Reacting to the video of Shan Masood and Jason Gillespie, Michael Vaughan said that such kinds of arguments usually take place when the coach and captain have spent time in three to four games together. While sharing his insight on the same, he explained:

"Well, I saw a little clip of Shan Masood the skipper, and Dizzy on the balcony having a bit of a set too. That was doing the rounds on social media. That's kind of, you know, usually it takes at least two or three games to get to that stage, but to do it in your first Test match."

The Shan Masood-led side didn't have a great outing in the first Test against the Bangladesh National Cricket Team. They went on to lose the game from the winning position and faced a lot of criticism for their performances, especially after declaring the innings after posting around 450 runs on the board.

Bangladesh then went on to take the lead of over 100 runs, and it expected that Pakistan would bat well and the game would head towards the draw. But it wasn't the case, as they came up with a horrible batting performance at the Rawalpindi International Cricket Stadium.

They got all out under 150 runs as the Bangladesh National Cricket Team set themselves a target of just 30 runs. The hosts went on to lose the game by the margin of 10 wickets and went 1-0 down in the series.
