Former Indian cricketer Madan Lal has criticized the Pakistani cricket team's performance in their Asia Cup loss to India. He questioned their talent and skill level, contrasting their performance with India's success, which he attributed to the BCCI's investment in infrastructure and competitive matches.
Lal, a member of India's 1983 World Cup-winning team, urged the Indian team to continue their strong performance and bring the Asia Cup trophy home. India has already secured a spot in the Super Four stage with victories over UAE and Pakistan.
India's next match is against Oman at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
““Just look at the BCCI. It’s a multi-million industry now, taking Indian cricket to unprecedented heights. They focus on bettering infrastructure, creating a competitive environment by conducting India A matches, and whatnot. And that’s why our team’s standard is so high," Lal told News 18.”
