In the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack and its links to Pakistan, the bilateral relations between the two countries have deteriorated further.
The last bilateral series between them took place in the 2012/13 season, while the last Test series took place way back in 2007.
Following the recent terror attack, there have been calls from several quarters to boycott Pakistan even in ICC tournaments and the Asia Cup. A recent report also stated that the Asia Cup might get cancelled this year.
Gavaskar had advocated Pakistan's OUT stance
"BCCI's stance has always been what the government of India tells them to do. So I don't think it would be any different when it comes to the Asia Cup."
Sunil Gavaskar's remarks have not gone well with several stalwarts of Pakistan cricket. Reacting to the remarks, Miandad said that he is in disbelief.
On the other hand, former spinner Iqbal Qasim said: "Gavaskar is a responsible figure loved on both sides of the border. Politics should not mix with sports."
