Mumbai: Former Indian cricketer Srikanth says that due to the lack of experience of playing in India, the Pakistan team will face difficulty in the World Cup.
Former Indian cricketer Srikanth said that I am not ignoring the abilities of the green shirts, but we have to see what kind of team is selected. The shirts are aware of the Asian conditions, but it has been a long time since they played a match in India, which could cause problems.
It should be remembered that after the World Cup 2011, the Pakistan team played the white ball series the next year, then came to participate in the T20 World Cup 2016, after that no visit to the neighboring country was possible.
