Former Pakistani captain Rameez Raja feels the ongoing one-day cricket
series between India and Pakistan is lacking in intensity and playing
fast bowler S Sreesanth could pep it up.
Rameez rated the India-Pakistan matches above the Ashes but said the current one
was not as exciting as it gets.
"I am disappointed with the lack of intensity in this series. More needle
is required in the series. I think we need to play Sreesanth," Rameez said.
Sreesanth's on-field aggression and comments were subject of
debate during India's recent series against Australia.
The Kerala bowler is part of the 15-member ODI squad but has
not been picked in the playing XI for any of the three matches so far.
The cricketer-turned-commentator said Pakistan were not much
affected by the ball change rule.
"I don't think they are much affected. None of the teams
in the series are much influenced by the rule unlike Australia who made best
use of it," he said about the new rule of ball being changed after 34th
over in ODIs.
He said the cricketing talent in the two countries had improved over the years.
