'For Indian cricket's sake…': Sunil Gavaskar's last-ditch plea to help India after practice match in Australia cancelled

Hindustan Times  

India batting great and former captain Sunil Gavaskar has said that the team's decision to cancel a scheduled practice match in Australia ahead of their first Test of the five-match series for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy “beggars belief”. Apart from the cancelled practice match, a scheduled warm-up against the Australia Prime Minister's XI before the second Test has also been truncated. “For Indian cricket’s sake whoever has taken the call to do away with the warm-up game and then reduce the match between the first and second Test against the Australian Prime Minister’s XI to two days will be proven right,” Gavaskar wrote in his column for Mid-Day. ‘Temperamentally, it’s never going to be the same’ Gavaskar said that the batters probably needed that practice game in Australia considering the way they failed at home against New Zealand.
