"I often get in trouble when I try to comment on things beyond my area of expertise, and I would say Pakistan's cricket team is certainly in that category," he said.
The debutant US pulled a stunning victory over former champions Pakistan last week as the T20 World Cup match rolled over to Super Over.
Batting first, Pakistan scored 159 runs in 20 overs, but the US equalled the score by the end of their innings. The match went to a Super Over, in which the US smashed 18 runs while Pakistan could score only 13.
Pakistan's defeat to the US in a game that the Asian country has been playing for decades led to a flurry of criticism and memes online.
