Inzamam Criticizes Pakistan Cricket, Responds to Gavaskar

Inzamam-ul-Haq has slammed Pakistan Cricket and former India captain Sunil Gavaskar. He gave a statement that exhausted all social media. Fans’ reactions and media reports were also terrible.

Pakistan’s legendary cricketer got trolled on social media with different statements. Indian media and fans trolled his nephew Imam-ul-Haq. Here is the complete detail of the whole matter.

Inzamam Criticizes Pakistan’s Poor Form

Imam-ul-Haq criticizes the Pakistan cricket team’s poor performance in the ICC World Cups and the Asia Cup. He highlighted the 2023 ODI World Cup, Asia Cup, 2025 T20 World Cup, and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in his statement. He calls for a performance review after the loss to India in the Champions Trophy 2025.

A former cricketer says Pakistan’s biggest enemy is internal jealousy, and there is no proper cricket and a lack of planning. Players focus on stopping other teammates instead of scoring runs. He said:

“We need to sit down and think about where the mistakes are being made.”

Clash with Gavaskar Over ‘B Team’ Comments

Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar stated that the Indian B team can easily defeat the current Pakistani team. He gave this statement after the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He said:

“I think India’s B team certainly can give Pakistan a run for their money. India’s C team, I am not too sure. But an Indian B team will be very, very hard to beat for Pakistan in their current form.”
In response to this statement, Inzamam-ul-Haq slams him, saying he fled Sharjah to escape from playing against Pakistan. He wanted Sunil Gavaskar to not give any statement like that for any team. As he stated in a press conference in Lahore:

“India won the match; they played well, but Mr. Gavaskar should also take a look at stats. He once fled Sharjah to escape from playing against Pakistan. He is older than us; he is our senior. We greatly respect him, but you should not speak about a country like that. Sure, you have the right to praise your team as much as you want, but commenting like this on other teams is in bad taste.”

“Tell him to look at stats, and he’ll know where Pakistan is. I am deeply hurt that he gave such a statement. He was a great, respectful cricketer, but by making such comments, he is only demeaning his legacy. He should control his tongue.”

“Gavaskar’s controversial statement had suggested India’s second-string team could challenge Pakistan. “I think a B team (from India) certainly (can give Pakistan a run for their money). C team, I am not too sure. But a B team will be very, very hard to beat for Pakistan in their current form.”

3. Social Media Trolling & Nepotism Claims

Inzamam-ul-Haq just asked to review the Pakistan cricket team performance. He asked to make players’ minds just for cricket, not for personal preferences. After this, he faced a big social media troll.

People accused him of nepotism, focusing on his nephew, Imam-ul-Haq. They questioned the performance of Imam-ul-Haq. They asked Inzamam-ul-Haq to see your own nephew first.

4. Impact of Inzamam’s Remarks on Pakistan Cricket

Inzamam-ul-Haq’s statements about the Pakistan cricket team and players were a bitter truth. The Pakistan team should develop and make some new rules. They should change the planning with some constant preparations.

It is a significant moment for Pakistan before the Asia Cup. As a former Pakistani cricketer calls on the Pakistan team to prepare well for the next clash against India. He highlights the India vs. Pakistan match of the Asia Cup 2025.

The Pakistan cricket board has changed the whole team. They have replaced some players with young talent. They have shown their improved intent.
