WION Global Summit: Laxman on Pulwama attack, India's chances in 2019 World Cup and Kohli's captaincy

India might not play Pakistan on June 16 at the ICC Cricket World Cup but there has been no official announcement from any of the board. 

Speaking at the WION Global Summit in Dubai, former Indian cricketer VVS Laxman on Wednesday said it is important to rally behind the families of the soldiers who were killed in the recent Pulwama attack. 

The former Indian cricketer was asked whether India should play Pakistan at the ICC World Cup, to which Laxman answered, 'cricket at the moment is the last thing on anyone's mind right now.'

The 44-year-old also praised Indian skipper Virat Kohli, saying "he is going to leave a legacy behind just like Sachin Tendulkar." He said what Virat has done is very very critical, especially taking on fitness which is very important to have a fit team.
