Pakistan copped an eight-wicket defeat at the hands of England in the third and final Test at National Stadium, Karachi on Tuesday (December 20).

With this loss, the Babar Azam-led side suffered a humiliating whitewash on home soil, a first of its kind for the team. This was also the first time that Pakistan have lost four consecutive Test matches at home.

After the outcome, former skipper Salman Butt slammed the performance of the hosts, saying it was the height of incompetence while he also questioned the mindset of Pakistani players.

“This is the height of incompetence. If players have such (poor) mindsets around them, they will definitely be disturbed and cannot deliver their optimum performance. This is a big question mark on the entire set-up - the decision-makers, the support staff as well as the players,” said Butt while speaking on his Youtube channel.

“The domestic structure that was praised so much has not produced the desired results. The way we are running the system, this was bound to happen. That needs to change. The way things are going, it’s not looking too great,” he added.

Salman Butt was also critical of the kind of shots that Shan Masood played, insisting that he is not that kind of player.

“Take the example of Day 3. We needed to set a target and there was plenty of time to do so. But look at the kind of shots Shan Masood played. He is not that kind of player. But when people above him tell him that they want ramps and reverse sweeps,” he remarked.

Butt added that it’s unfortunate that Pakistan have endured their first series sweep on home soil.

“This is unfortunate. It’s the first home whitewash in Pakistan’s Test history. The manner in which the series unfolded, it was complete domination from England. They never allowed Pakistan to come close. There was no fight or thrill. It was such a one-sided affair. It seemed only England wanted to do something. Pakistan were in it just for the sake of it,” he concluded.
