Shan Masood confronts ‘disrespectful’ reporter in press conference

The Pakistan skipper ignored the question and asked for the next one, to which the same journalist interjected and sought a reply to his question first.

On Monday, Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood urged his country’s media to stop disrespecting players after being asked if he would step down as leader of the pack on his own or if the PCB would have to remove him.

Shan lost his cool at the post-match conference following his team’s heavy 120-run defeat against the West Indies on the third day of the second Test. The Pakistan skipper ignored the question and requested the next query, to which the same journalist interjected and sought a reply to his question first.

You can’t show disrespect to players, me, and the others. We all play for Pakistan and get results, but no one will tolerate such disrespect. You have to understand that. He added that if you want to put someone down, fine, but we all are Pakistan players.

Masood said that the PCB is the decision-maker, and the players always accept the Board’s decisions. You must understand and appreciate that we are trying to do something different, and you must study that. Anyone can google something, but we are trying to do something, and we have won three out of the last four Tests at home.”
