Sunil Gavaskar
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 âwe don't feel safe. We are not coming back'."
