"Politics Over Sport": Ex-Pakistan Board Chief Najam Sethi Slams Asia Cup Scheduling
India's opening encounter against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2023 was washed out, with not a single ball being possible in the second innings. Batting first, India posted a total of 266 runs on the board, with Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan leading the charge. But, the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, etc. could test themselves against Pakistan's batting unit due to persistent rain. As the match was abandoned, former Pakistan Cricket Board chief Najam Sethi called out 'politics' in Sri Lanka's selection as the co-host of the Asia Cup 2023.
