Karachi: The former captain of the Pakistani cricket team Inzamam-Ul-Haq retaliated with the former legendary cricket player from India, Sunil Gavaskar, for his recent remarks on the disappointing campaign of green shirts with the Male Champions Trophy of the ICC 2025.
In an interview, Gavaskar had said that the current Pakistan team is not strong enough even to face the B team from India.
“I think even team B of India would give Pakistan a difficult challenge. It would be very difficult for the current Pakistan team to beat them, ”said Gavaskar.
Sunil Gavaskar’s remarks certainly did not be satisfied with good with Inzamam-Ul-Haq, who warned the legendary striker to carefully use his words in a tone “ slightly hard ”.
“Gavaskar Sahab should see the statistics. He is an old and an elder; we respect him. But when we talk about someone’s country […] Your team has played well. You have the right to rent your team. But it is not fair to say on another team like this. Please be careful with your words, I say that in a slightly hard tone, “said the former cricket player.
Gavaskar also underlined the lack of intention of Pakistan strikers.
“Mohammad Rizwan struck the first ball of his sleeves for a four, and I thought we were something different. However, the strikers quickly started blocking deliveries instead of turning the shot. The Indian spinners quickly finished their overs, and it was surprising that Pakistan strikers show no emergency, “he said.
Gavaskar has also criticized Pakistan’s failure to develop the strength of the bench over the years.
“Pakistan has talented players, but they could not build a solid backup. It is surprising that they had a hard time producing strikers like Inzamam-Ul-Haq. The Super League of Pakistan (PSL) is played in the country, but it has not given enough superior quality strikers, “he said.
