Delhi: Former Pakistan spinner Sakalain Mushtaq has openly challenged the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). He said that if the Indian cricket team is actually the best team in the world, then it should not avoid playing 10 Tests, 10 ODIs and 10 T20s against Pakistan. He believes that it will be clear from these matches that which of the two teams is better. However, Sakalain also admitted that at present, the internal conditions of Pakistan cricket are not good. He said that if Pakistan removes its weaknesses, then it can maintain its dominance in world cricket.
In an interview to a Pakistani channel, 48 -year -old Sakalain Mushtaq described the need to keep Pakistan cricket away from politics. He said that if Pakistan cricket improves its shortcomings and moves in the right direction, then the day is not far when Pakistan will give a strong reply to world cricket and India.
Significantly, Pakistan was hosting the ICC Champions Trophy this time, but its journey ended within just five days. Pakistan faced defeat against New Zealand and India, while their match against Bangladesh was rainy.
The team and captain Mohammad Rizwan are being questioned after Pakistan’s poor performance in the Champions Trophy. Former Pakistani cricketers are criticizing Babar Azam and Rizwan fiercely. Earlier, Pakistan had also lost in the final of the Tri -series, which included teams from New Zealand and South Africa.
It is believed that after a poor performance in the Champions Trophy, there may be major changes in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), as well as the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan may be in danger.
