IND vs ENG: Sunil Gavaskar lauds BCCI’s offer to reschedule cancelled Test

Both the BCCI and England Cricket Board officials later announced that the match will be rescheduled at a later date as a one-off game, but the decision is yet to be made official

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.

Both the BCCI and England Cricket Board officials later announced that the match will be rescheduled at a later date as a one-off game, but the decision is yet to be made official. 

“Yes, I think that [rescheduling the cancelled Test] would be the correct thing to do. Look, we, in India, should never forget what the England team did in 2008 after the horrific attack, the 26/11. They came back,” Gavaskar told official broadcaster Sony Sports. “They would have been perfectly entitled to say ‘we don’t feel safe. We are not coming back’.”
