Former Indian selector Kris Srikkanth has launched a forceful attack on Pakistan’s national team and his main coach Mike Hesson ahead of Super Four’s long -awaited clash in the Asia Cup 2025 on Sunday, September 21 in Dubai.
Surprisingly, Srikkanth compared Pakistan to a seventh division in a local Chennai league, as he emphasized his poor performance against India in the group game last week. Above all, Pakistan struggled to combine the intensity of India both in whip and bowling, with Suryakumar Yadav leading the men in blue to a victory of September seven on September 14.

Pakistan should not play with the main teams: Kris Srikkanth

Mike Hesson will return tomorrow with their statements about how they are a very good team and were not unpleasant in the last game against India. You will not go anywhere with Mike Hesson as coach.”
Srikkanth stated that Pakistan no longer is a real threat to India and that the famous Rivalry of India-Pakistan fades. He suggested that Pakistan should move to the level of associated nations and that future encounters with India will no longer attract the massive crowds they made before.
He noted, “They should not play with the main teams. Make them between the associated nations and take some of the others. Pakistan should be retired from the top seven. From there, India-Pakistan matches did not attract crowds. India-Pakistan rivalry has become history. Chennai League. ”
