BCCI Gets Open Challenge From Ex-Pakistan Cricketer After Champions Trophy Embarrassment, 'Political Things Aside, I Feel...'

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Days after Pakistan's horrific exit from the Champions Trophy 2025, in which they were hosts, they are resorting to cheap tactics to agitate India. For the unversed, Pakistan exited the tournament without registering a single win. They lost their games against New Zealand and India before their last group-stage match against Bangladesh was called off due to rain. Pakistan left the tournament with a solitary point and now there is panic inside the Pakistan Cricket Board. 

Strange comments are being made, not just by those who are in the board, but by former cricketers as well. Former Pakistan legend Saqlain Mushtaq is the latest to join the bandwagon. The legendary spinner has made an open challenge to the BCCI. Mushtaq claims if India is really a good team, they should play 10 Tests, 10 ODIs, and 10 T20Is against Pakistan.

“If we keep political things aside, their players are very good, and they have been playing good cricket," he said this on 24 News HD channel. 

“If you are really a good team, I think let's play 10 Tests, 10 ODIs and 10 T20Is against Pakistan, then everything would become clear,” he added.

“If we get our preparation right and sort out things in the right direction, then we will be in a situation where we can give solid answers to the world and India as well,” said Mushtaq.
