Mohammad Haris, the 22-year-old Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman mocked India A team and said that nobody asked India to send ‘little kids’ in the Emerging Asia Cup 2023.
In a recent podcast, the 22-year-old rejected the claims of Pakistan sending more experienced players in the Emerging Asia Cup 2023 and said that nobody asked India A side to bring little kids into the tournament.
Mohammad Haris further explained and said that the Pakistan A opener Saim Ayub has played five games and Haris himself appeared in 6 international games, whereas the India A players who participated in Emerging Asia Cup 2023 played 260 IPL matches.
“Ye kehte hai ki aapka international experience tha. International experience kitna hai. Saim ke 5 matche hai, mere 6 match hai. Saare T20 hai. Inke team pe IPL ke 260 matches ka experience hai. (People are saying that Pakistan sent a team with many seniors. We did not ask them to send little kids to the tournament. They say that we had international experience in our team. How much international matches have we played but? Saim has played 5, I have played 6. Those guys [India A players] have played 260 IPL matches),” Mohammad Haris said in the podcast.
Following Haris’ comment, cricket fans on Twitter started to question the 22-year-old. One of the fans said, “260 IPL matches? It’s not even a double digit dude!”
On the other hand, another fan questioned, “Funny how the age of Pakistan Shaheens wasn’t an issue when we lost to India A.”
Mohammad Haris’ ‘little kids’ comment came days after the clash between the two arch-rivals in the Emerging Asia Cup 2023. The final match was played on Sunday (23 July) at R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo.
