Just a few weeks ago, when the Indian veterans refused to play with the Pakistan team in the World Championship of Legends. Suresh Raina was also included in that team. Now the Asia Cup 2025’s India-Pakistan match has created a boom due to the demand for boycott and cancellation. In the midst of this ruckus, former cricketer Suresh Raina gave that reason, due to which Team India has to play matches with Pakistan under compulsion in the Asia Cup. He even claimed that no player of Team India wants to play with Pakistan.
Suresh Raina told Aaj Tak that the Asia Cup match has been approved by the Government of India. At the same time, BCCI has also been saying that no bilateral series will be played with Pakistan. Raina said, “As far as we were concerned, it was a private series (WCL 2025), in which all the legendary players were playing. He did not come under the series BCCI. Due to this we were able to decide not to play against Pakistan.
No Indian player wants to play with Pakistan …
Suresh Raina claimed a huge claim saying, “I know very well that if the players of the Asia Cup Indian team are asked personally, no one plays in the Asia Cup. It is a compulsion for the players as the BCCI has approved it and it is also the ACC tournament.”
I grieve…
Suresh Raina also said that Team India has to play with Pakistan, he is sad about this. He claimed for the second time in this conversation that if any Indian player was asked, he would refuse to play with Pakistan.
