confrontations
Allegations of nepotism
Shan Masood comes from an affluent family, which led many to criticize his selection in the Pakistan national team as a result of nepotism, and when he played in domestic matches, he was taunted with the name Parchi, a well-known term of derision for rich kids.
25% of the match fee was fined.
In November 2029, Shan Masood was fined 25% of his match fee for displeasure with the umpire’s decision in a Quaid-e-Azam Trophy match where he played South Punjab against North Punjab at the Jinnah Stadium in Sialkot. He was found to be in breach of Section 2.8 of the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to showing apparent frustration at the umpires’ decision when they were dismissed. On-field umpires Abdul Moqit and Farooq Ali Khan leveled charges against Masood, which he denied, and a hearing was subsequently held in which match referee Kamran Chaudhry reserved his decision.
Aerial shot captured by Spider Cam
In the India-Pakistan T20 World Cup 2022 match, Shan Masood hit an aerial shot that bounced off the rope of the spider-cam. Fans claimed the shot would have been caught by Indian cricketer Virat Kohli, who stood deep and criticized the ICC for using the spider cam at the World Cup.
Appointment as vice-captain
In January 2023, Shan Masood was appointed as the vice-captain of the ODI team selected for the ODI series against New Zealand in Pakistan. His appointment was mocked by fans and Pakistan’s interim chief selector Shahid Afridi, who said that neither he nor Pakistan captain Babar Azam had been consulted before appointing Shani as vice-captain. In an interview, he said
Shan Masood should not have been named as the vice-captain of the ODI squad. The chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was to accept the captain or chief selector; He was neither reviewed by me nor by Babar Azam for the first two ODIs against New Zealand. Shan Masood cannot be named captain or vice-captain of the Pakistan cricket team based on his performances in Derbyshire.
