Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood expressed his frustration with the local media on Monday, urging them to refrain from disrespecting players. The incident occurred during the post-match press conference after Pakistan's heavy 120-run defeat to the West Indies on the third day of the second Test.

The tension arose when Shan was asked whether he would voluntarily step down as captain or if the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) would have to remove him. The visibly irritated skipper ignored the question and requested the next one. However, the same journalist interrupted, insisting on a response.

Shan, known for his calm demeanor, appeared visibly displeased with the line of questioning and made it clear that such queries were unproductive.

"You have your opinion and I respect that but there is a lot of disrespect in your question," Masood said.

"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. You want to put someone down fine but we all are Pakistan players," he added.

Masood said that the PCB is the decision maker and the players have always accepted whatever decisions the Board has made.

"You have to 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." Check out the video here:

Shan conceded that Pakistan's failure to bowl out West Indies quickly on the first day after having them 38 for 7 and 8 for 64 was a big let down and the batting was also shoddy.

"We have been facing this problem of not being able to quickly get the lower order out for sometime now and we have to find a way to resolve this because in Tests you have to grab the opportunities that come your way as a team."
