    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Delhi, April 14:<\/strong>&nbsp;Former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar joked that there are more chances of snowfall in Lahore than there is of an India-Pakistan bilateral series in the near future. Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar had mooted the idea of holding a match between the two arch-rivals so as to raise funds to fight the coronavirus outbreak that has brought the world to a standstill.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;There are more chances of snowfall in Lahore than bilateral series between India and Pakistan,&quot; said Gavaskar in a Youtube chat with former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Both teams will keep on meeting in World Cups and ICC tournaments, but a series between them seems unlikely right now.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, Akhtar&#39;s suggestion got backing from his former teammate Shahid Afridi. But India&#39;s 1983 World Cup winning captain Kapil Dev said that the match doesn&#39;t need to be held because India doesn&#39;t need funds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The entire world is fighting against coronavirus and we need unity in our region to defeat this common enemy. Such negative comments don&#39;t help at all. I don&#39;t see anything wrong with Shoaib Akhtar&#39;s suggestion for Pakistan and India to play cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Kapil&#39;s reaction has surprised me. I expected better from him and feel one should not talk like this in these crisis times. Sport is supposed to bring people together and build bridges. It is pretty disappointing,&quot; Afridi had said.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
