Sparks Fly in India-Pakistan Rivalry at Asia Cup 2023

Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has delivered a strong rebuke in response to the provocative comments made by former PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) chief, Najam Sethi, who suggested that India is hesitant to play against Pakistan due to fear. Harbhajan Singh vehemently criticized Sethi’s insinuation and added a layer of intrigue to the passionate India-Pakistan cricket rivalry.

Najam Sethi’s Provocative Remark

After the first India vs. Pakistan game was canceled due to rain, Najam Sethi took to X / formerly Twitter to express his views. He questioned the decision to change the match venue from Colombo to Hambantota due to rain forecasts and implied that India might be avoiding the match out of fear. Sethi’s statement stirred controversy and anticipation.

India’s Fearless Approach

Harbhajan emphasized that India is not afraid to face any opponent, including Pakistan. He called for a constructive approach by the PCB in collaboration with the Asian Cricket Council to address venue-related issues.

Harbhajan’s Assertion

Harbhajan Singh stated, “India does not want to play Pakistan because India is scared. India is never scared to play anyone. Don’t know where this is coming from. They needed to sit with the Asian Cricket Council and see where the tournament is going to be held. Whether the weather forecast was right or not. Boss, come and play us wherever you want, we will beat you.”

India and Pakistan are set to face each other for the second time in the Asia Cup 2023 on September 10 at the R. Premadasa stadium in Colombo.
