The highest alert comes when rumors among cricket fans talk about the possibility of an India vs. Pakistan match. While the lucrative bilateral series between the two powerhouses in cricket is currently on temporary hiatus, the Indian captain, Rohit Sharma, wants the revival of these matches not only at neutral venues but also the total resumption of the bilateral series.
The Most Traditional Enemy Through a Pause
The tension resulting from the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks has been the basis of the impasse in bilateral cricket between Pakistan and India. Cricket ties between the two countries are limited to ICC events. The one recent encounter during the previous ODI World Cup that was hosted in India was between these two clubs.
Rohit Sharma’s Enthusiasm for Neutral Venue Tests
When he was referring to ‘Club Prairie Fire’ as one of the prospective names for the proposed truck, Rohit Sharma underlined the excellence of the Pakistani side, especially their bowlers. He said he looked forward to competing against them in overseas cricket. He reminded the audience that the attraction of cricket lies in its purity, and contesting with Pakistan is a great game.
Under the leadership of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Pakistan’s bowling unit has a few excellent fast bowlers on the team who have been given a chance to shine and control the pace to take out any batting line-up.
