Pakistan T20 Captain Bans India Talk

Mohammad Haris, the captain of Pakistan A for the Men's T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup, announced a unique rule prohibiting discussions about India in the team's dressing room. This decision aims to alleviate pressure on players ahead of their opening match against India A on October 19. Haris emphasized the importance of focusing on all competing teams, including UAE and Oman, rather than fixating solely on India, stating that it creates unnecessary mental strain. He also noted that they have not engaged in any talks about India so far, stressing the need for respect towards all teams. The tournament will run from October 18 to 26, with Pakistan looking to defend their title after winning in the previous edition. Haris, who has represented the senior national team, aims to lead his squad effectively throughout the competition.
