It&#39;s not easy which ones to accept and which to reject,&quot; Gavaskar wrote in his column for Mid-Day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I enjoyed the one I did with Ramiz Raja as we get along very well but what I enjoyed even more was Shoiab Akhtar&#39;s superb comeback about my snowfall in Lahore comment. A fast bowler with a sense of humour. Wow, love that!&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Akhtar had proposed an India-Pakistan bilateral series to raise funds in fight against the ongoing coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>To Akhtar&#39;s suggestion, Gavaskar had said: &quot;There are more chances of snowfall in Lahore than bilateral series between India and Pakistan.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Both teams will keep on meeting in World Cups and ICC tournaments, but a series between them seem unlikely right now,&quot; Gavaskar had told former Pakistan cricketer Ramiz Raza on his YouTube channel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Akhtar took note of this comment from Gavaskar and wrote on his Twitter handle: &quot;Well Sunny Bhai, we did have a snowfall in Lahore last year. So nothing is impossible.&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
