Former Pakistani cricketer Tanvir Ahmed has strongly reacted to the Shad Masood-led Pakistan cricket team’s humiliating 10-wicket defeat against Bangladesh in the first Test of the ongoing two-match Test series at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Sunday, August 25.

There have been mistakes and we have to do better when we play next: Shan Masood

Meanwhile, this marked Bangladesh's first victory over Pakistan in 14 Test matches. With this win, India and South Africa are now the only teams Bangladesh have not yet defeated in Test cricket. Additionally, this is the first time Pakistan has suffered a 10-wicket defeat in a home Test, including games played in the UAE.

After losing the first Test, Pakistan captain Masood said: “Never to make an excuse, it (the pitch) didn't play the way we thought it would."

They will now face each other in the second and final Test at the same venue in Rawalpindi from August 30. After the Pakistan tour, Bangladesh will travel to India for a two-match Test series.
