Pakistan Star Batter Says Cricket Not Over Yet After Asian Games Loss to India

Hasan Nawaz, Pakistan's star batter, has encouraged his team to move beyond their narrow loss to India in the Asian Games 2026 men’s cricket final, viewing the result as a learning experience. Pakistan trailed by 19 runs while attempting to chase 212, despite Nawaz's outstanding 96-run innings, the highest individual score in a T20I between the two nations.

Former Pakistani players Shahid Afridi and Mohammad Yousuf commended his performance, which also earned him a spot in Pakistan's upcoming three-match home series against Sri Lanka. During a media interview at Pakistan’s training session in Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Nawaz attributed the loss to small mistakes, emphasizing the necessity of learning from errors and progressing forward.

He reiterated that cricket is far from over, as Pakistan will face India again, learning from each encounter. Nawaz expressed confidence in his ability to compete against India, the world's top-ranked team, and credited his domestic cricket experience for his development.
