Pakistan announce Test squad for Bangladesh series; Shan Masood captain, 28-year-old named vice-captain

Pakistan have announced their 17-member Test squad for the two-match Test series against Bangladesh and one four-day red-ball game against Bangladesh A with Shan Masood to continue leading the side. The 3-0 series defeat to Australia was Masood’s first assignment at the helm of the Test team and even though Pakistan failed to win a single game, his leadership and conduct as captain was praised by many. However, Pakistan did make a little tweak in the leadership group with the 28-year-old middle-order batter Saud Shakeel being named the vice-captain.
