Irfan Pathan Warns Team India Ahead Of Asia Cup 2025

Before the Asia Cup 2025 Final, former India speedster Irfan Pathan issued a stern warning to the Suryakumar Yadav-led side, asking for a strategic change in the squad.

While speaking on his official YouTube channel, Irfan Pathan pointed out India's poor performance in fielding and how many crucial catches they have dropped in their previous fixtures.

The former cricketer added that the Indian players are working hard in training, but still they are making a lot of mistakes. He further added that a team cannot drop so many catches in a game.

"Another concern for Team India, I know the boys work hard in training, and so does the fielding coach, but the team are making a lot of mistakes. You cannot drop this many catches. Even in the last match, four chances were dropped. In this game, two catches were dropped in an over; if it were any other team, it would have punished you...," Irfan Pathan said.
