Sourav Ganguly Critiques Pakistan Cricket After Asia Cup Loss to India
Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has sharply criticized the Pakistan cricket team following their heavy loss to India in the Asia Cup, questioning their relevance in modern international cricket.
Speaking at a live event, Ganguly said Pakistan has lost its competitive edge, admitting he switched off the match midway. “Pakistan are no longer a competitive side now. I switched my TV to watch the Manchester derby after the first 15 overs,” he remarked. “I would watch India play Australia, England, South Africa, even Afghanistan, rather than watching Pakistan.”
Ganguly’s comments come amid growing scrutiny of Pakistan cricket, as the team struggles to find consistency under coach Mike Hesson. Analysts point to inconsistent batting, lack of bowling depth, and poor performances in high-pressure matches as ongoing challenges.
The former BCCI President is not alone in questioning the traditional India-Pakistan rivalry, with many pundits arguing that India’s recent dominance has dulled the historic contest.
For Pakistani fans, Ganguly’s remarks are a wake-up call. While Pakistan still boasts talented individual stars, the team now faces the challenge of rediscovering the fight and flair that once made them a feared force in world cricket.
As the Asia Cup continues, Pakistan has the opportunity to respond on the field, proving critics wrong and restoring their reputation on the global stage.
