Former Pakistan cricketer Mudassar Nazar believes that if Pakistan can play up to its potential, the defending champions could stand a chance of scripting a victory against "formidable" India.
Pakistan's interim head coach and selector Aaqib Javed has enlisted the help of former teammate Mudassar Nazar to assist in preparing the team for their crucial Champions Trophy clash against India.
Pakistan cricket appears to be in a downward spiral, having delivered lacklustre performances at the 2023 ODI World Cup and earlier this year in the T20 World Cup.
Former Pakistan cricketer Mudassar Nazar spoke on the match-fixing cloud in cricket, saying every time his team lost a game to India, people back home used to think the match was fixed.
Former Pakistan head coach Mudassar Nazar on Monday called Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials a bunch of confused people, who do not learn from mistakes.
The former Pakistan coach believed that Babar Azam needs to score more centuries in order to be considered as a great cricketer.
"Everybody has got their own stadium, their own academies, school cricket, state cricket. Cricket is thriving in India," said the ex-Pakistan star.
Mudassar Nazar had no hesitation in saying that Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and David Warner were the three best batsmen in world cricket at present.
