In the ongoing series between Bangladesh and Pakistan at the Rawalpindi, the Men In Green faced a humiliating defeat in the first test series that sparked massive criticism all around the cricket fraternity. 

This defeat was the first time that Pakistan faced defeat at the hands of Bangladesh in Test cricket. 

Basit Ali Takes Brutal Dig At PCB 

After this defeat, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali took a brutal dig and criticised the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) . He even stated that they should follow and take ideas from India and host more red-ball cricket to provide opportunities for players to develop their form. 

"There will be a One-Day tournament called the Champions Cup after the Test series. Pakistan have copied the systems of England, Australia, and New Zealand. India is right next to us, please copy their system too. You need intelligence in copying as well. Just copy what India is doing. The Duleep Trophy is about to begin. Is it a T20 or One-Day tournament? It is a four-day tournament. They are focused on making their base stronger, which is why they are so successful," he said on YouTube.

He said on his YouTube channel, that the Pakistan board made a blunder as it organised a One-Day tournament after the Bangladesh Tests. 

Instead, he suggested that they should have focused more on the longest format of the game. The former cricketer also mentioned that PCB should prioritise red-ball cricket to build a more solid foundation for the national team.

The second Test match between Bangladesh and Pakistan will be played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from August 30 to September 3. 

It is important to mention that, to develop and promote Test cricket among the young generation, PCB has arranged free entry for students in the second test match.
