Pakistan, the hosts, is growing more and more frustrated with the current Test match against Bangladesh. After Bangladesh amassed an enormous 565 runs in their opening innings, the team was suddenly behind in the fourth day of the match.
The surface, which has been increasingly favourable to hitters, has frequently been questioned. Numerous people have raised concerns about the quality of pitches being used in Pakistan after witnessing the team’s outstanding batting performance. High expectations were held for the new administration’s handling of these issues and for an improvement in the standard of home Test match surfaces. Still, the board’s problems have been made clear by the Rawalpindi pitch. Star pacer Naseem Shah expressed his dissatisfaction with the way the pitch has performed thus far, emphasising his unhappiness.
“You must be honest when you say it. We’ve had enough series, in my opinion, with pitches like this. Despite their best efforts, I believe the surface wasn’t as helpful as it may have been due to the heat or heavy sunlight. Since we didn’t receive the support we anticipated from the pitch, we need to consider how we can gain the home advantage. After all, you have to win the game no matter what. At the press conference, Shah stated, “But everyone gave it their best shot.”

In addition, when asked how Pakistan would try to exploit home conditions, Naseem Shah responded by saying that spinners could be given some assistance if green pitches could not be kept up. “We need to leverage home advantage, even though it’s not my area of expertise. Give us pitches that benefit spinners if you can’t build green pitches that can assist quick bowlers.

These days, test cricket has come a long way. In this heat, the supporters are at the matches as well. You’re compelled to keep them entertained. As you play the game yourself, you shouldn’t feel like you’re up against obstacles,” Shah said.
