Rohit Sharma ready to restart Test cricket ties between India and Pakistan

Mumbai Team India captain Rohit Sharma strongly agrees that they should play regular bilateral series against Pakistan, especially in the red ball format. The right-handed batsman expects an exciting encounter if the two giants of the subcontinent resume their ties in the longest format as he praised Pakistan’s bowling line-up. India and Pakistan have not played against each other in Test cricket since 2007 when Pakistan hosted the arch-rivals for a three-match series. The host team won the tight series 1-0. The last bilateral series between the two sides took place in 2012–13 when Pakistan toured India to play white-ball cricket.

Speaking on the Club Prairie Fire podcast, Vaughan asked Rohit the following question:

“Don’t you think it would be great for Test cricket for India to play Pakistan regularly? “I fully believe it! They are a good team. They have a great bowling line-up. I think it will be a good match, especially if you play in foreign conditions. It would be fantastic.”

When Vaughan was asked if he would like to see India and Pakistan engage in a regular series, he expected a good contest between the ball and the bat. “I would love to. At the end of the day, we want to be in the competition. I think it will be a great competition between the two sides. We play them in ICC tournaments anyway. So, it doesn’t matter. I’m interested.” Only in pure cricket, I am not thinking about anything else, so why not.
