Mike Hesson downplays Haris Rauf-Sahibzada Farhan controversy
Mike Hesson stated, “Look, my message is that we are focused on the cricket, and we certainly will be doing that. Those things, you probably know more about than I do. I deal with the cricket side.”
The Pakistan coach also believes that his team has fully earned their place in the Asia Cup 2025 final. He also promised that Pakistan will come out swinging against India in the final on Sunday, September 28, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai to win the trophy.
Well, Salman Ali Agha and his team enter the final as the underdogs, but Hesson believes that his side has every reason to feel optimistic after their strong fight against India in the Super Four clash.
We are ready for a stronger battle in the final: Mike Hesson
He highlighted that the group match felt one-sided, but the Super Four clash told a different story. The coach further explained, “We have to be good enough to put India under pressure for longer because there is a reason why they are ranked the top side in the world. We have to put them under pressure, and that will be our challenge.”
Hesson signed off by saying, “I think the way we played against India in the last match was a huge step up from the first game. The first game was a bit passive; we allowed India to control the game. The last match we had, we had that game by the scruff of the neck for long periods, and it took an exceptional innings from Abhishek Sharma that took the game away from us.”
