“Failure to beat India in the World Cup is no excuse, the result was 8-0, even the best captain in the world has played from 1975 to 2026, so put that aside. In the Super 8 stage, a match was called off due to rain, we lost a match and nothing else happened,” he said.“Against Sri Lanka, it’s impossible to win by such a margin. We only lost one game. We were just outplayed in net run rate. It’s too much to make it such a big issue. It’s a big issue, but not so big that our cricket is destroyed or that we can’t compete anywhere in the world.”The discussion also brought back the earlier controversy involving Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan. During the match, Shadab responded strongly to criticism from former players after Pakistan lost to India in Colombo.

We beat India in the World Cup,” he added.The message showed nothing but a lack of respect for past players, including Shadab’s father-in-law. Saklan Mushtaq.Sachlan himself expressed dismay at the remarks. “These are unpopular comments and most of the players I have played with have played with me.
