Wasim Akram, Former Pakistani pacer, has supported Gautam Gambhir’s vision about India being playing on spinning wickets when hosting matches for England and Australia.
Indian media has severely criticized Indian cricket for failing to cope with the pace and bounce of Australian pitches. Gautam Gambhir said Australians will not be able to handle spinning wickets easily in India and Wasim Akram supports his thought.
"I always believe in home advantage. If Australia rely on green pitches then the sub-continent teams can make turning tracks too. There is nothing wrong with that," said Akram.
Wasim, 45, also felt that even England also could win only at home.
England, who clean swept India 4-0 at home last year to seize the No.1 Test team title from them, is now being defeated by Pakistan 0-2 in the ongoing three-match Test series in the UAE.
