The game should be played the proper way. Stay positive. Win by playing hard. “Bring home the Asia Cup,” he said in closing.
Madan Lal, a former cricket player for India, believes that Pakistani players are not talented enough to compete internationally. He cited the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) efforts to organise competitive matches and upgrade facilities as key factors in elevating Indian cricket to new heights.
On Sunday, September 14, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Pakistan played their Group A match against bitter rivals India, and their performance was poor. The Men in Green chose to bat first and puffed and stomped their way to 127/9 in their 20 overs. India responded by chasing the meagre score in 15 overs with seven wickets remaining.
Simply take a glance at the BCCI. Indian cricket is currently a multimillion dollar industry that has reached previously unheard-of heights. They concentrate on improving infrastructure, holding India A matches to foster competition, and other things. And for that reason, our staff has such high standards,” Lal told News 18.
“Take a look at Pakistan. That’s Jaisa wo khele hain. They really lack talent, thus unmein talent hi nahi hai. Such shot-making in international cricket has never been witnessed by me. Total incompetence,” he continued.
Madan Lal, bring home the Asia Cup
Lal, a member of India’s 1983 World Cup winning squad, pushed the Indian squad to win the Asia Cup domestically. After defeating Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates, Suryakumar Yadav and company have already advanced to the competition’s Super-Four stage.
On Friday, September 19, the Men in Blue will play Oman in their last Group A match in Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Stadium. Oman, managed by Jatinder Singh, has already lost and will try to salvage some pride in their match against India.
Pakistan will face the United Arab Emirates in a crucial match on Wednesday, September 17, in Dubai. The victor of this competition would go to the Super Four with India.
