Pakistan and India have not played a bilateral series since December 2012 and only face each other in ACC and ICC events.

Both teams last played a Test in 2007 and the cricketing world are deprived of watching them due to across borders.

Ahead of the 2022 Asia Cup clash against Pakistan in Dubai, Indian captain, Rohit Sharma was asked about it and he emphasized that these things are not in our hands, but if the cricketing boards and higher officials opt to play, then his side would definitely play.

"If I had the option to answer this question, I would have given it. Respectable boards make these decisions," Sharma said.

"This is not in our hands but if boards decide to play, then we will play," he added.
