Misbah-ul-Haq shockingly blames India for Pakistan's downfall ahead of blockbuster Asia Cup clash ...Middle East

Just ahead of Pakistan's Asia Cup 2025 campaign, a former player has made a huge remark on the current struggles within the Pakistan side and has cited a huge concern that went unnoticed even to several cricket pundits.

Just before Pakistan begins their Asia Cup campaign on the 12th of September, former skipper Misbah-ul-Haq has claimed that Pakistan cricket's downfall in recent times is due to their lack of exposure to competitive cricket alongside top teams like England, Australia, and India.

"Pakistan doesn’t play against India, and only faces big teams like England and Australia once every two years while continuously playing against smaller teams, then how will the Pakistan cricket team improve?" said Misbah-ul-Haq as quoted by Pakistan media.

Pakistan Cricket's current form in International Cricket across three formats

As far as performances in recent tournaments are concerned, Pakistan have performed very weakly, as they have lost two of their last 3 Tests and 9 of their last 11 ODIs matches. Moreover, in the shortest format of the game, they had lost 7 of their 14 T20I matches until the recent tri-series, where they lost only one of their 5 matches.

Pakistan won the UAE Tri-series just days before the Asia Cup 2025

Ahead of the Asia Cup, Pakistan played a tri-series involving Afghanistan and the UAE in the United Arab Emirates. This helped the players with some more game time on the UAE grounds.

Skipper Salman Ali Agha re-established the hope within the Pakistan team and led them from the front as Pakistan beat Afghanistan twice in the tri-series and won the series to mark a grand opening to their Asia Cup preparations.
