According to former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh, India should not visit Pakistan for the 2023 Asia Cup. He asserts that there are numerous hazards involved that should be taken into account before making any choice. Harbhajan Singh stated, “India shouldn’t travel to Pakistan as it isn’t safe there, and why are we taking risk of travelling when their own people aren’t safe in their country? Our government is taking the correct decision not to go to Pakistan for any series as our first priority is the safety of our players.”

He also talked about India’s potential to win the Global Test Championship. India has once again earned a spot in the final of the coveted tournament. India and New Zealand faced off in a Rose Bowl final two years ago in Southampton, UK.

The fast bowler from New Zealand, Kyle Jamieson, made a great performance to disturb the Indian batters despite India faring well in cloudy and unpredictable conditions. India’s bowling unit struggled in the second innings, only managing to take two wickets. Nonetheless, the ‘Turbanator’ predicts India will perform well in the upcoming final.

‘Every time Indian Team steps on the pitch, we have high hopes’ – Harbhajan Singh

“Every time the Indian Team steps on the pitch, we all have high hopes for their victory. Even this time, we want them to be victorious. We hope that the result would be different this time and India ends up with a victory. Virat Kohli scored a century; he is in a good form. I believe that we have a goofed chance. If India scores 400 runs, then they have the bowlers to take wickets and win the game,” he continued.

The crucial fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, won’t participate in the upcoming final. But Harbhajan thinks that Indian pacers will step up and make up for his absence against Australia.

“The Team will feel the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. But we have Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur, a bowler who has performed well in the Test format. Even Deepak Chahar could perform well in England. India needs to find the third bowler; Umesh Yadav is also there. So we have good bowlers. Our spinners have played a lot of cricket. Jadeja and Ashwin have played there, but I think only one will play there. We don’t have Bumrah, but I think Shami will step up on the occasion,” he added.
