India cricket manager Lalchand Rajput, busy with the India camp in Kolkata, said that some missing stars would not take away from the intensity of the Indo-Pak rivalry.
8220;Mohammed Asif is not playing, but that doesn8217;t mean his absence is taking away the pressure from us.
8220; In fact, the absence of names like Rahul Dravid and Inzamam ul Haq will have no impact in the end. It8217;s the players out there during a series who matter. And the high-pressure factor will always be there.8221;
On his counterpart Geoff Lawson describing the Indo-Pak series as bigger than the Ashes 8220;I agree with Lawson. When it8217;s India versus Pakistan, it8217;s bigger than the Ashes.8221;
