Watch: Shaheen Afridi’s shocking gesture towards Shan Masood exposes Pakistan team's internal tensions

Pakistan and controversy go hand-in-hand. And it looks like the Pakistan team could find itself in another controversy due to a video featuring their Test captain Shan Masood and Shaheen Afridi.

The Pakistan team is facing severe criticism once again after losing the recently-concluded Rawalpindi Test against Bangladesh. It is their first-ever defeat against Bangladesh in the longest format of the game. The tourists inflicted a humiliating 10-wicket defeat on the Shan Masood-led side to register the historic win.

Pakistan suffered the defeat following an inexplicable batting collapse on day five of the Test. With Bangladesh ending their first innings late on day four, the Test looked destined to end in a draw. However, the hosts lost as many as five wickets in the first session on day five before being eventually bowled out for just 146 runs to set Bangladesh a target of 30 runs.

Bangladesh chased down the total in less than seven overs to take an unassailable lead in the two-match series. As Pakistan players face heavy criticism from all around for their poor performance, a video has surfaced on social media, hinting that all is not well inside the Pakistan dressing room.

The video features captain Shan Masood and Shaheen Afridi. Both were standing next to each other as the Pakistan captain was delivering a speech during a team huddle. As it usually happens during a team huddle, Shan Masood kept his arm on Afridi's shoulder. However, the left-arm pacer promptly removed the captain's arm.

The video comes just a day after another video created a stir on social media. In that video, Shan Masood could be seen having a heated exchange with head coach Jason Gillespie in the dressing room.

Talking about the Test, Pakistan declared their first innings on 448/6. In reply, Bangladesh scored 565 runs to take a 117-run lead. In the second innings, Pakistan's batters failed to deliver before the tourists went on to register the famous victory. The second and final Test of the series is scheduled to begin on August 30 in Rawalpindi.
