Yograj Singh Rebukes Saqlain Mushtaq Over '10 Matches Against India' Comment

Former cricketer Yograj Singh criticized Saqlain Mushtaq for challenging India's cricket team to 10 matches each of Test, ODI, and T20I against Pakistan. Singh's comments followed India's victory over New Zealand in the Champions Trophy, highlighting Pakistan's struggles in international cricket and their early exit in recent tournaments.

In a fiery response, former cricketer Yograj Singh lashed out at Saqlain Mushtaq, condemning his suggestion that India should face Pakistan in 10 Tests, 10 ODIs, and 10 T20 matches to determine the superior team. Saqlain's remarks drew widespread criticism, painting India's success in the Champions Trophy as a testament to their dominance.

Singh, speaking after India's nail-biting victory over New Zealand, contended that Saqlain's comments lacked appreciation for India's achievements. He provocatively suggested Pakistan should contend against India's 'B' team, highlighting the consistent underperformance of Pakistan on the global stage, exacerbated by their inability to progress beyond the ICC tournament group stages.

The much-anticipated return of global cricket to Pakistan was marred by New Zealand's sweeping victory, which cornered defending champions Pakistan into an early exit. As Pakistan's campaign unravelled, requiring interventions from teams like Bangladesh, frustrations grew, culminating in the decision to revamp the national white-ball squad in preparation for future tournaments.
