‘ICC keeps emphasising that politics shouldn’t be involved in sports’
For many years, competitions between India and Pakistan were limited to global (ICC) and continental (Asian) championships. The last time the two sides met was at last year’s T20 World Cup, more than nine years after the bilateral series. In December 2012, Pakistan toured India for three T20Is and as many ODIs.
However, former Pakistan captain Amer Sohail believes that India and Pakistan should play more cricket, insisting that “politics” should not be involved in the sport.
“The ICC has always emphasized that, as far as cricket is concerned, there should be no politics, and I agree with that. A match between India and Pakistan always brings that expectation around the world. Cricket fans are deprived of that,” Sohail told Sportstar .
Earlier, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ramiz Raja had said that he would propose a quad series between India, Pakistan, England and Australia. “Hello fans. An annual four-nation T20i Super Series involving Pak Ind Aus Eng will be proposed to the ICC, with these four taking turns hosting. A separate revenue model with profits shared in percentage with all ICC members , think we have a winner,” Raja tweeted on his official Twitter account.
Sohail also spoke about the Indian team and their search for a new captain in red ball form, saying Rohit Sharma was a “good choice” for the leadership role.
“Rohit Sharma is a good choice as a captain. His batting doesn’t seem to get affected by captaincy. Of course, his experience as the Mumbai Indians skipper at the IPL (Indian Premier League) would help. IPL helps the new players get prepared and make them comfortable with the camera.But I believe the IPL performances should not be the criterion for selection to the Test team; it should be based only on First-Class cricket,” said Sohail.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”
Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.
KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.
In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.
In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.
Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.
Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.
He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
