After the India-Pakistan tension, Sunil Gavaskar’s blunt security drill after the Pahgam attack: “Feeling …”

The relations between India and Pakistan have taken a turn for a worse after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. Growing political tensions have once again put up cricket relations under the scanner between the two countries and it is not clear at this time whether they will play each other in international competitions. India and Pakistan have not played bilateral chains in almost a decade and many former India cricketers have also emphasized a complete boycott after the attacks. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has recently directed the state governments to practice to be ready for any kind of attacks. However, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar believes that the drill will not have any effect on the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) and said that there is no need to worry.

“As long as nothing happens, I don’t think it will affect the IPL. Yes, in the evening, when the match is being played, of course, there will probably be the lights-off drill in the city. Then I think it could be a little worrying,” Gavaskar told Sports today.

“But so far, I don’t really look at the drill while impressing the IPL.

Earlier, many former Pakistani cricketers, led by legendary batsman Javed Miadad, have expressed deep disappointment over recent comments about Pakistan’s participation in the upcoming Asia Cup by Indian cricket icon Sunil Gavaskar.

Gavaskar, while speaking to a news channel, indicated that given the current political atmosphere, it was not likely that Pakistan would participate in the tournament, which is co-maintained by India and Sri Lanka. He said that the BCCI traditionally follows the Government of India instructions, suggesting that political stress could prevent Pakistan from involvement in the incident.

After a deadly attack on tourists in Kashmir, tension between the two countries has erupted, in which 26 died. India has blamed Pakistan for supporting terrorists, suspended the Indus Water Treaty for a long time, and indicated on comprehensive repayment functions.

Reacting to Gavaskar’s comments, Miandad voiced mistrust. “I can’t believe Sunny Bhai said,” he told telecomasia.net, remembering his long -standing cameradari and out of the field. ” “He is a respectable, down-to-back person who was always away from politics.”

Former spinner Iqbal Qasim echoed Bhavna and said that he initially thought that the statement was wrongly placed. He said, “Gavaskar is a responsible person who loves both sides of the border. Politics should not be merged with the game,” he said.
