India players have to block the noise as they prepare to face Pakistan rivals again in the Asian Cup in the middle of the controversy on their previous confrontation, the Skipper Suryakumar Yadav said on Saturday.
The eight team tournament was dominated by the headlines on Pakistan and the first meetings of India on the field since the military conflict between the nuclear arms in May of this year.
India prevailed in the group of the group politically political last week, but their players refused to shake hands with their Pakistani opponents after the match.
Suryakumar devoted the victory of India to seven doors to their armed forces, while several of his teammates went to social networks to express similar thoughts.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) called for the immediate revocation of referee Andy Pycroft for a code of conduct and planned to withdraw from the tournament before continuing the water match after the referee had apologies.
Naqvi, flanked by former presidents Ramiz Raja and Najam Sethi, told journalists from the Gaddafi stadium that the referee of the match based in Zimbabwe, Andy Pycroft, had officially apologized to the national captain Saliman Alima Ali Agha, the coach and the team leader, recognizing the concerns raised by the side.
With the controversy likely to scold during the accumulation of Sunday’s confrontation, Suryakumar offered frank advice for teammates who have trouble dealing with external pressure.
“Close your room, turn off your phone and sleep. I think it’s the best. It’s easy to say, but sometimes it’s difficult,” he told journalists. “It’s about you, what you want to listen to, what you want to have in your mind.
“I have been very clear with all the boys. I think it’s very important if you want to do in this tournament and move forward. We will have to close a lot of noise from the outside and take what is good for you.”
Despite the triumph of India during their previous meeting, Suryakumar insisted that the past results would count for nothing when the rivals meet again in the super oven match.
“I think that our preparation was really good when leading to the tournament. We also had three good games, so we focus on what we can do best,” he added.
“We want to follow all the good habits we have made in the last two or three games. We take a match at a time. It doesn’t give us an advantage that we played once, and we had a good game. We have to start from scratch.”
Asked about historical rivalry-which was much more intense in 2000, he said: “At that time, I don’t know. I never played. So I can’t say,” he laughed.
“If we are talking about rivalry, I don’t know what kind of rivalry you are talking about. After starting on the ground, I think the stadium is full. And when the stadium is full, I tell my team and everyone is time to entertain. So many people have come to watch the match, so you have to entertain,” he added.
Another question posed to Suryakumar the “other things” that India has done against Pakistan, without explicitly mentioning the handles, and he simply said: “By other things, you mean that we have knocked down well, right?
