A lack of quality backup is eroding the strength of the national team, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi said in the wake of the embarrassing 10-wicket loss to Bangladesh in the first Test.

"It was a very disappointing loss," Naqvi said on Monday, a day after Bangladesh's historic maiden Test win against Pakistan in 14 Test matches at Rawalpindi.

"The problem is the selection committee has no pool to turn to for high-quality replacement players," he said.

"We want to fix our problems, but when we look at how to resolve them, we don't have any solid data or [elite] players pool which we can draw from," Naqvi said.
