Rohit would ‘love’ to play Test series against Pakistan in neutral venue
Bilateral cricket between India and Pakistan has been put on hold since Misbah-ul-Haq’s team last toured India to play a three-match ODI series way back in 2012-13.
Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma invited Mashrafe Mortaza -led Bangladesh cricket team to bowl first after winning the toss in the first match of Super Four in Asia Cup 2018 on Friday. The match is being played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.
Mashrafe Mortaza, Bangladesh captain: “We would have batted on this wicket. It is a very important match. Hopefully we will play well. Mushy comes in and Mustafizur too.”
Rohit Sharma, Indian skipper: “We will bowl first. It suits us, we have played few games here and we have realized that it better to chase. It is out strength and we will like to do that. Pitch is similar to what we play in India but it is litte more dry. We are used to these conditions. Just 1 change. Hardik misses out and Jadeja comes in place of him.”
