ABU DHABI, Feb 14: Batting legend Sunil Gavaskar on Tuesday said he hoped a window could be found to accommodate an India-Pakistan series, as tight schedules were stopping the arch-rivals from playing each other.

Gavaskar said his country’s tight schedule makes the imminent resumption of matches tough. “Hurdles are very simply, the tight schedules which are there for India in particular are stopping the revival,” Gavaskar said.

Gavaskar said any series between the two rivals needs proper time and length.

“Frankly, if you want to have a India-Pakistan series it can’t be one Test. It has to be a proper three Test, five one-day and two to three Twenty20s. But I think the real connoisseur of the game wants India and Pakistan to play Tests.”—AFP
