Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly publicly criticized Pakistan's cricket standards during a Kolkata event, revealing he switched from the India-Pakistan Asia Cup match to Manchester Derby after just 15 overs. Ganguly stated Pakistan is "no longer competitive" and lacks the quality of past legends like Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, and Javed Miandad. He expressed preference for watching India play Australia, England, South Africa, or even Afghanistan over Pakistan. Calling the current comparison "chalk and cheese," Ganguly emphasized India's dominance even without stalwarts Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Regarding the controversial no-handshake incident, he deferred to captain Suryakumar Yadav's explanation while mentioning terrorism must stop during the public interaction.
