Pakistan National Cricket team -skipper Salman Agha has denied that the ‘favorites’ tag at the India National Cricket Team for the Asia Cup 2025 is being given.
Salman Agha has also given an enormous warning to the Yadav-guided side guided by Suryakumar and declares that the Pakistan speed stares will show aggression during the competitions, and he would not try to stop them.
For my part there are no restrictions – Salman Agha
After many controversies, debates and doubtful, the Asia Cup 2025 is finally here and the competition starts on Tuesday 9 September, with Afghanistan accepting it from Hong Kong in Abu Dhabi.
Your daily dose of cricket!
The largest competition of the group stage will take place on September 14, when the arch rivals India and Pakistan will bump for the first time since the war -like situation, between the two nations, unfolded earlier in the year.
India versus Pakistan collision is expected to be filled with drama, intensity and uncomfortable interactions between the players, and one cannot exclude the possibility of fiery exchanges on the field.
Aggression will be central when the arch rivals meet on Sunday, and the Pakistani captain has given his players a free hand to do what is needed to defeat India, but by staying within the spirit of Cricket.
“Fast bowlers are naturally aggressive, and you can’t remove that from them-that is what drives them.
The Tri series was a construction event-Salman Agha
Pakistan recently registered a stunning victory in the T20i Tri series with Afghanistan and the VAE. About talking, Agha said that they just wanted to play cricket in the series, with the ultimate goal that acclimatizes to the VAE conditions for the Asia Cup 2025.
“The Tri series was a structure event. If you won it, great. If not, it still didn’t change the fact that the real goal was to get here, play good cricket and win the Asia Cup.”
“As a team we play a good cricket and we are really looking forward to this tournament. Everyone is very enthusiastic,” said Agha.
I don’t think there is really a favorite – Salman Agha
India National Cricket Team has won eight Asia Cup titles, including 7 in ODI format and 1 in T20i format. The men in Blue won the last edition of the Asia Cup in 2023 by destroying Sri Lanka in the final.
Suryakumar Yadav-guided India are also perhaps the best T20i team in the world at the moment and will enter the Asia cup as the hot favorites to catch their 9th title. However, Salman Agha is not ready to accept that the men are in blue favorites. He said:
“I don’t think there’s really a favorite. In T20 Cricket everything can change within an hour or two. On a certain day you just have to play a good cricket.”
