Former Pakistan skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq wishes for the resumption of bilateral cricket ties between India and Pakistan. The 51-year-old said that the India-Pakistan series was followed much more than The Ashes, and for the betterment of the players, the bilateral series must resume. Inzamam was the skipper of Pakistan when India visited for a historical series in 2004 and emerged victorious in both ODI and Test series under Sourav Ganguly. The following year, Pakistan toured India and defeated them in the ODIs, while drawing the Test series. The last time the two teams played a bilateral series was in 2012-13, in which Pakistan defeated India by 2-1 in a three-match ODI series. “India-Pakistan series was followed much more than The Ashes, and people thoroughly enjoyed each and every moment. For the betterment of the game and the players, it is important to have the Asia Cup and also bilateral series between India and Pakistan,” Inzamam told Sportstar in an interview.
