Pascoe played in 14 Tests and 29 ODIs between 1977 and 1982, during which time he transferred to World Series Cricket. In the 1980 Centenary Test at The Oval in London, he took 5/59 in the 1st innings. Pascoe retired from international cricket due to a knee injury after the 1981/82 Frank Worrell Trophy series in Australia.
Geoff Lawson spoke in his autobiography Henry of how Pascoe, as the son of Macedonian immigrants, was often subject to baiting about his ethnicity during matches, especially from brothers Ian and Greg Chappell. He once stated that "a tiger never changes its spots."[citation needed] Pascoe is a popular after dinner speaker.[citation needed]
Pascoe has spoken of an incident when he hit an Indian cricketer during the 1981-82 series, which he has stated it changed him as a cricketer and stated afterwards that he wanted to retire, which he did 3 tests later.[6]
In November 2017, after returning home from a tour of South Australia and Western Australia with former teammates Doug Walters and Jeff Thomson, it was reported that Pascoe had been diagnosed with an infection of cryptococcal gattii and had to spend three weeks in a hospital in Sydney for treatment.[7]
