Pakistan Must 'Focus On Job' In Highly Charged India Clash: Coach Mike Hesson

By AFP News September 12, 2025 • 13:30 PM View: 2788

Coach Mike Hesson has told his Pakistan team to "focus on the job" in Sunday's highly charged Asia Cup clash with arch-rivals India. The match in Dubai is the first time that the neighbours will have met in cricket since a brief but deadly border conflict in May and emotions will be running high.

The New Zealander Hesson said Thursday: "I guess, from my perspective, just like any time you enter a match, whether it be a final of a world event or whatever, it's about keeping everybody focused on the job at hand and that'll be no different on the weekend."
