'We can give solid answers ...': Saqlain Mushtaq challenges India to multi-format contest against Pakistan to prove dominance

NEW DELHI: Former Pakistan spinner Saqlain Mushtaq has thrown down the gauntlet to Team India, challenging them to play a 30-match bilateral series across formats against Pakistan to truly prove their superiority. His remarks come after India’s commanding six-wicket victory over Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 group stage in Dubai.

Mushtaq, speaking on 24 News HD, acknowledged India’s dominance but suggested that a full-fledged bilateral series would be the real test. "If we keep political things aside, their (Indian) players are very good, and they have been playing good cricket. If you are really a good team, I think let's play 10 Tests, 10 ODIs, and 10 T20Is against Pakistan, then everything would become clear," Mushtaq said.
