‘Empty vessels make more noise’

Speaking on his YouTube channel, the former India captain was blunt and claimed it wouldn't make much of a difference even if Pakistan did decide to play.

"Empty vessels make more noise. Pakistan are scared. Now, in the U19 World Cup also they lost. So they are thinking of giving a walkover. Whether they play or not, the game is anyway a walkover for India. It does not matter if they come or not. In the Asia Cup, they played all the games against India," said Srikkanth on his YouTube channel.
