Former Pakistan Captain Advocates For Resumption of Tests vs India

India and Pakistan have not engaged in bilateral ties since 2013, and the last time they played a Test against each other was in 2007.

However, former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram has advocated for Test matches to resume between the two countries, saying that it would be a historic spectacle for fans from both countries.

"I am sure these matches will be entertaining, just like all other India-Pakistan matches. But I hope both the players and the fans will remain disciplined and not cross the line," said Akram, in an interview with Telecom Asia Sport.

While Akram believes the Asia Cup will be a feast for the fans, he wishes that the Test rivalry too resumes.

"This Asia Cup will be a feast for fans worldwide. It's my wish that India and Pakistan also resume playing a Test series. It's been too long, and it would be a historic spectacle for fans on both sides," he added.

Speaking of the Asia Cup tie between the two countries, scheduled for September 14 in Dubai, Akram feels that the team that handles pressure better on the day will win. "India have been in better form recently and will start as favourites, but the team that handles pressure best on the day will win," Akram said.
