Gambhir: India should not play Pakistan at all

Gautam Gambhir: ‘My personal answer to this is absolutely no’

- 

India head coach Gautam Gambhir has called for a complete halt to cricketing engagements with Pakistan, including at neutral venues, in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack.

"My personal answer to this is absolutely no," Gambhir, speaking at an event in Delhi on Tuesday, said when asked whether India should continue playing Pakistan in multi-team tournaments. "Till all this [terrorism] doesn't stop, there should not be anything between India and Pakistan."

Twenty-six people were killed in the terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir on April 22. Since then, the government of India has announced several measures against Pakistan, including suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, shutting down of the border crossing at Attari, and downgrading of diplomatic ties in view of cross-border links to the attack.
