India vs England: 'Should never forget England's gesture after 26/11', Gavaskar supports rescheduling 5th Test

Firstpost  

Sunil Gavaskar has lauded the BCCI’s offer of rescheduling the cancelled Old Trafford Test. Manchester: The legendary Sunil Gavaskar has lauded the BCCI’s offer of rescheduling the cancelled Old Trafford Test, saying India should never forget England’s gesture of returning back to complete a tour, which was halted midway due to the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks in 2008. The fifth Test between India and England here was called-off hours before its start on Friday after a COVID-19 outbreak in the visiting team’s camp which made the Indian players reluctant to play fearing a positive result might lead to 10-day isolation and scheduling nightmare of Indian Premier League. Gavaskar said that the then skipper Kevin Pietersen was instrumental in England’s decision to return back for the Test matches. Gavaskar termed BCCI’s rescheduling offer as “fantastic news” and said the cancelled Test can be held next year after the Indian Premier League.
