Krishnachari Srikkanth gave a sharp statement before the ODI World Cup 2023
In fact, while talking to media, former chief selector Krishnachari Srikkanth made a scathing statement about the Pakistan team. He said that most of the players in the team have not played in India before and this has cost Pakistan the loss in this year’s tournament.
During this he said that I am not rejecting him. I would like to see what kind of team they are going to select. This is the most important thing that Pakistan always gives thorny competition in India. The last time Pakistan played the tournament in India was in the 2011 World Cup, when they lost to India in the semi-finals in Mohali.
He further said that I am not ruling out Pakistan for the 2023 World Cup. Yes, they always give fierce competition against India, but the fact is that they have not played in India for a long time.
Actually, out of the ODIs played against New Zealand on May 7, none of the players who were included in Pakistan’s playing-11 have played in India. However, there are also cricketers like Sarfaraz Ahmed, Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Amir, who were part of the playing XI when Pakistan last played on Indian soil in the 2016 World Cup.
