Overview
- Hesson told Cricinfo on July 2 that India are currently the world's strongest side and that every team is finding it hard to beat them.
- He singled out Pakistan's three defeats to India at the 2025 Asia Cup as the key measure that shapes public judgment of Pakistan's progress.
- Hesson argued Pakistan have improved since his 2025 appointment, citing two T20I tri-series wins and a record of losing only one of six bilateral T20I series.
- He has been running training camps at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore and says the programme must prioritise consistency over instant ICC trophies.
- The admission comes against a backdrop of Pakistan not beating India in any format since 2022 and ongoing structural concerns—selection instability and reported board interference—that could undermine a patient rebuild.
