After O-4, it will be 0-5. You must be thinking that the test series with Bangladesh is of only 2 matches, then what is the meaning of 0-4 or 0-5? This meaning is actually related to the test record of captain Shan Masood, which if deteriorates further, then understand that the Pakistan cricket team can see worse days than what it has seen so far. Pakistan had to face defeat at the hands of Bangladesh in the first test played in Rawalpindi. After that defeat, there was an uproar in the whole of Pakistan. Ahmed Shahzad even said that he has not seen a worse day than this in Pakistan cricket.
Now whether Pakistan cricket has seen its bad days or there is more to see, it all depends on Shan Masood and his Test record as a captain. Shan Masood's captaincy record in Test cricket is not good at all. His winning percentage is zero. And, this is the thing that is causing tension to Pakistan.
Shan Masood has captained Pakistan in 4 Tests so far. And, Pakistan has lost all four of them. That is, Pakistan's record in Test matches played under his captaincy has been 0-4. Now if this trend continues, it can also be 0-5.
That means if Bangladesh, which has achieved the feat of defeating Pakistan in a Test match for the first time, wins the second Test as well, then Pakistan will be clean swept in the series. And, then there can hardly be a worse day than that for Pakistan cricket.This is why Azhar Mahmood has specially appealed to Pakistan team captain Shan Masood to show some maturity and put an end to his losing program.
now or never

The second Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh is also to be played in Rawalpindi from August 30. That is, the same place where the host Pakistan lost the first Test and Bangladesh created history by registering a win.
Pakistan is preparing a grass pitch for the second Test in Rawalpindi as well. It is possible that spinners may also be included in the playing eleven. That is, they should not make the same mistake which they did in the first Test. But, will all this change the fortunes of Pakistan, which lost the first Test of the series by 10 wickets? Because, Shan Masood's statistics are telling a different story. Pakistan is preparing a grass pitch for the second Test in Rawalpindi as well.
